I'd be down to meet up as well! I just hope my SC is back up and running by the time this happens haha.

I'm in Los Angeles/Culver City area but i'm down to travel to places nearby!

Got the wheels test fitted today and ordered tires! Going with 235/40/18 up front and 275/35/18 for the rears.

Having the CX Racing coilovers and new LS400 brakes, Brembo rotors, pads, and stainless steel brake lines installed as well.

love the look of that meaty rear tire, a breath of fresh air when so many others put on these hyper agressive wheels with stretched rubberband tires.

Anyways, in for more pics of the while car!

Yeah, I would be happy if I never see another condom posing as a tire.

You will like the meatier setup...

I have 245/35/18 and 275/35/18...

Gives it a nice aggressive look from behind with the fat tires...

Rubberband/stretched tires = FAIL

Dude, you'd better hurry up already. Between the report on how the CX Racing coils ride and seeing a full profile with these wheels on and the fresh paint....you're turning into a major tease
