Yup! It was the only IS250 within 500 miles that had everything I wanted and the color I wanted! Does it matter what kind of dealership a car is bought from anyway? It's MINE now!! :-)

How much should I plan on spending for wheels? I should probably know now so I can start budgeting for them :-)
That depends on a few factors

1. What type of wheels? 1 piece cast or 3 piece/forged, painted,polished,chrome.

2. what brand?

3. Imported ie. Japanese wheels

4. New or used

Tires you can shop around for good deals on the net to compare. always ask before you buy if you don't know You're off to a good start. I'd say anywhere from $1,000-$5,000. That's a huge range, but that's real world pricing.

If my OSB IS250 met your IS250, they would have hot babies.

LOLOL you guys make my day :-) but seriously....if cars could mate and have baby cars that would be a lot cheaper than buying the newest model from the dealer! haha. Alright I have constructed a list of questions to ask because I am about to buy a bunch of stuff for my projects this weekend....I have to organize it and then will post it so I can get expert advice from my fellow lexus freaks ;-)
In the meantime, here is a link which I will continue to update with new photos as I make my mods on the car:

Same color as mine, however mine will be undergoing a major appearance change in the upcoming weeks. Either way perfect choice in color.

I tried, but it said something about sending friend requests to strangers would be considered as spam. *shrug*
