Starting to come together man! What offsets did you go with? I have the springs too, but waiting on parts. How's the drop? I'm sure you'll get some settling, but curious what your initial thoughts are? Looking sharp for sure! How about a few side pics w/o the slant/tilt?

How easy/difficult was your RSR spring install?

Was basic, if you've done it before, should be fairly straight forward, least that's how my guy made it sound, didn't do it mysel.

Drop is nice, perfect for me, I'm not about that low life, just want to kill the wheel gap some.
Ride is superb as well, much better than I hoped, springs are soft and honestly about the same as stock.

Here's a couple of pictures, also if you're following me on Instagram you know what wheel I chose, if you're not let me introduce you to VPS-302, should hopefully be getting powder coat tomorrow and I can get these bad boys on.

Man those stock rims already look nice! The calipers compliment the tail lights!

Can't wait to see yours too, we're all waiting on powder!

Well my latest update on the car was bad news, I got hit with the fuel pump issue.

Car wouldn't start Thursday. Dealership dropped me off a loaner and picked up my RC-F, they called me said fuel pump needs to be replaced and wire harness. Part is not in stock in US and have to order from Japan, 2-4 weeks,
They're supposed to call me Monday see if maybe they can get the part from another car on lot till the part comes in. 2 months and 3k mikes, big boooo

Wow love the caliper color. Was it painted a specific paint code you wanted?

Well been a little while since my last update, but Lexus finally got my part in and should have my car by Friday. In the mean time Vossen sent me updated picture of finished wheel.
Hand Brushed Tinted Smoke ~ can't wait to see them in person, if all goes well I can have it all put together this weekend. Big thanks to Diego, and rest of the Vossen family as always!





Also looks like GTHAUS is about done and ready for order, next on my list then it's on to the Varis kit!

Z, that's going to look Awesome Buddy! I've been going back & forth on if i wanted to paint my calipers red or blue to match my car but i think Red is it (like someone else said to match the tail lights). I've also noticed that not any of the Custom Wheels i've seen for the RCF doesn't have much of a lip OR Deep Dish (i've always liked a bit of a lip)? Will they not fit our cars or what? thanks!

I think it's all just a matter of preference, I've always loved the concave look personally.
There's a guy on here, forget user name, he's on IG as well: RCF_Bryant, he's got some deep dish wheels and he's bagged, check him out and see what you think!

I like your choice, the wheels look really nice Zydan. Are they forged? If you're wanting the Varis kit, I'd suggest putting down a deposit and getting the order started. It's about 5 month wait after you place the order. Same as my AIMGAIN....ordered it first week of Feb and it's due into Port LA June 24th. Then of course that port has been going on strike repeatedly this year. Gotta love Unions....work less, make more

Edit- I do see they're forged..nice! I wouldn't run a non forged wheel in a 20" on a higher performance car ever. Looks sharp in the smoked color!

Congrats! The GTHAUS Meisterschaft exhaust system should be ready for production by the end of June / early July I believe and I can you this about it, it is going to be a X pipe setup and looks amazing!
