is that wide front fenders on VIP's ls600hl? the wheel fitment is quite off

 

Looks Good to me...

This is what it looks like before the Air Suspension slams it to the ground and tucks the front & rear wheels

Mike I am 100% with you. I would rock that CT F-sport so hard! What a great daily. My driving habits and my outlook is different, this looks superb and getting 42-50 MPG with some Lexus luxury in a tight parking package really has me It looks SO MUCH better than stock.

Who would have thought the 600h L grill would be better with it being painted body color

 

I think I could even stomach the Prius engine if I had to. LOL. My problem with the CT from the beginning is that it was SO CLOSE to being perfect but the wheels and fitment really killed it for me. These little changes to the suspension make a WORLD of difference and I hope Lexus has plans to offer this car, exactly as it appears at SEMA, to the public market.

Only thing is that I wonder what it's like driving 18" wheels with 130hp on tap...probably not much fun. This car really needs a bit more power, at least 160hp, and then it would be perfect and it's something I would seriously consider when the time comes. F Sport, black interior...I would rock it!!!

I really have no idea what my next car will be (2-3 yrs from now). I go back and forth on a 3GS, 1GX, 2gen Highlander, 2gen IS F Sport (probably too small), and with a few small tweaks (as above) I would consider a CT. The FT86 will be out by then too

 

lol by vip definition, that means it needs spacers

 

LoL

Function over Form...

haha come on joe, don't even start to talk to me about function on that ride height and the size (weight). bottom line it's trying to be vip car and the wheels can use more work

 

I was j/k...

I am not sure if they can fully slam the suspension if the front wheel had any lower offset.. Can't really start hacking away at those Wald Fenders...

I REALLY like the Fox one..wow...changed my ideas on a LS.






New take on old school wheels

 

This actually doesn't look too bad, at least from the side view...



But, here's the other side

 

Two different sets of wheels. Still the first set is too plain and the 2nd one is a split spoke. I mean damn the OEM wheel is a split spoke. What the hell? How about a deep dish lip or a concave lip? COlor match?

Very blah.

 

If the color of the 5 spokes were different and it had the Lexus center cap, I think it'd look good. But the finish on them is bland, and the design doesn't help, but it does look like they're bigger than the stock wheels. I don't like the split spoke on the left side, they're even more ugly.

 

Cross posting FTW

The CEC Wheel Company is using the Gray Pearl LFA to display their New Wheel Designs inside their SEMA Booth this week..

It's a very common practice for Wheel Companies to display TWO different wheel designs, to showcase how TWO different designs look on the very same car....

So far the passenger side looks better than the drivers side.. but non beat the OEM BBS Forged Design

Dedicated thread.. = CEC Wheels on LFA at SEMA 2010. Yay or Nay?
