Some pics form my custom fitted wheels today. No spacers, no rubbing. Love it.

lol was a tad nervous


Face has two different textures. inside the face is polished as it adds some dimension to the 3D cut in the wheels. Such a great detail accent.












Kit goes on Friday!

Thanks. I chose that design for it's classic car history. It's a slightly modernized variation of the ones I have seen on Porsche and BMW's and many other cars. It really works for me. The red caps I was not 100% sure on but seeing them on the car they are perfect. Classic design, classy looking but modern luxury car. Kit is still sitting in my living room. Show is on Saturday so I am worried but determined to get it on by then.

I'm normally pretty nice and like everybody but I hate your f$#%ing guts infinirx! That's a sick set up you got and definitely one of the sickest Rex's around. Please post pics asap with the kit on. What are the wheel specs? did you have a staggered set up before?

after owning my 07 RX350 for 8 months, am getting into slow mods...

Firstly trying to swap the front parking bulbs (and fogs) to match the colour output of the stock Xenon HID. I don't like the mismatch of colours!

Then also trying to swap some of the orange interior bulbs to whiter ones

Oh, and then I'd like to add a supercharger (from the Australian Toyota Aurion V6 TRD with same engine as the RX350 plus about 40% extra hp).....

Kit goes on 7:30 am Friday Yeah I had staggered wheels before but they were only staggered from the inner wheel and I NEVER got an alignment . This time I am doing it right. However I can't daily these really. But too expensive and the ride quality on the horrid roads in LA will eventually make for an unhappy driving experience over all. Soooo trying to set it up where I can change out to stock for the regular daily commutes.

Glad people like them. When I get a GF though all this is going south lol!

With regard to the last line, I have to strike a careful balance with my fiance on modifications. I make sure her 4Runner gets taken care of first so there's no complaints about what goes on with my Lexus.
