2018 IS300 AWD F-Sport Atomic Silver

I'd like to give a few shoutouts because this wouldn't have happened without their support:
- First and foremost, my Wife: Without her support and telling me, "Do what makes you happy" the car would have remained stock.
- Sasnuke here at Club Lexus helped guide me with my wheel and tire decisions.
- Meraki Autoworks: Josh was great and very patient with my questions and getting me quotes quickly. Without even asking, he always had the lowest price!!!! I highly recommend pm'ing him here at Club Lexus for any of your needs. https://www.merakiautoworks.com/
- Music City Tint: https://www.musiccitywindowtint.com/
- Freedom Tire Guys in middle Tennessee for the tires and their awesome mobile mounting service - many thanks to Rich and Bare: https://freedomtireguys.com/
- Club Lexus for giving us a place to talk about our cars.

Looks great. It's amazing what a drop and wheels will do to transform the look of a car.!

Looking good all around! It's nice doing the mods the right way the first time.
The finish on the wheels is fire!!

Thank you!

You helped me a ton - and I appreciate it so much because I do want to "do it right" the first time.

I was expecting a good wheel from Enkei, but I was quite impressed when I received them - the pictures really don't do them justice. The main reason I choose Enkei is that they've been around a long time and have worked out all of their design and finishing processes. Being 18lbs each was the icing on the cake - a total of 50lbs of unsprung weight gone. The seat of my pants dyno tells me the car liked the change. LOL! In all seriousness though, it does feel a bit sportier - the suspension seems to settle a bit faster (this was before the coilovers).
