GS400 + iForged Technik = PIC's (lots of 'em)
 
I got the wheels installed yesterday but it was nasty out. I got up this morning and had a quick photoshoot. I really really like my wheels. When the guy let the car off the jack, there were 3 of us standing there, and we ALL (including the tech) said "DAMN" out loud!!! LOL. There were a few folks coming into the service bay just to get a look as well.

I wanted to give the high polished a try (coming from chrome), and I'm very satisfied with them, they are quite brilliant!! The lip action is also nice, and the reflection of the spokes off the rear lip is great.

I wanted to try a different style of wheel, I was looking to keep a little of the luxury appearance while adding some aggression. And I did not want to just get the same wheel that someone else had, I kinda wanted to take things in a different direction. I took a chance on a wheel I'd never seen on a Lexus, but I'm very satisfied with the results.

Overall, to say I'm very happy is an understatement. I fell in love with my car all over again at the carwash last night! LOL

Here are some pics, the shop did not have the shallow lugnuts, so I'm using the regular ones that stick out in the rear! LOL, will be fixed on Tuesday

iForged pics
 
D,
Thanks for the desktop wallpaper shots. I love 5 spokes. I didn't think these would look better to me. I was DEAD WRONG!!! I'm trying to search for an adjective to describe my thoughts. Can't do it. I'll just say good job man. Looks great.

AlphaJZS 04-24-04 02:40 PM

Hameed 04-24-04 02:43 PM

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your car is sitting so low Derrick! How slow do you go over bumps? Did you especially lower it for these beautiful pics or is that how you normally drive it? I would love to drive mine like that but I think I would hitting the fenders in the front all the time!

BostonGS4 04-24-04 02:52 PM

liked your old rims better....
these are still cool tho

thisguy_06 04-24-04 03:14 PM

You've been pimped AGAIN, those wheels are hot man :bigok:

SprtDesign 04-24-04 04:08 PM

Thoes kinda remind me of the AC Magnafiques(sp?) But better due to the thinner spokes.. Will you be able to see big brakes throught the rim? D, I'm impressed. Thoes pics really make me want to get a GS :eek2: i'm speechless..

Maybe the angle of the picture but the camer in the rear looks wayyy off..:eek1:

Neo 04-24-04 04:39 PM

And it continues. Man, that ride is coming up fast. I don't think your 1st gen got this much or your attention in its lifetime. ;)

Nice job D. So what's next? :D

Wald GS 04-24-04 04:54 PM
