Looks TERRIFIC. Congrats. Some questions:

1) How's the balance with the new wheels/tires? At all speeds?
2) What offsets did you get?
3) Are the wheels hub centric or are you using centering rings, or neither?
4) Where did you buy them?

bitkahuna,

first of all, thanks for the compliment.

I do notice after I install the new wheels, I do get some vibration when I was about 55-60mph. I guess I need to rebalance them, hope this work. On the wheels I check, they are +39 offset on all 4 of them, and I got this wheels from one of our CL member. He told me he sold his GS and brought a BMW, thats why he need to get rid of these wheels. Very nice guy though.

BTW, my friend has a GS430 and he got the same wheels as you have, looks very nice.

Cool! I really like the look of those rims and they are #1 on my list for when I get around to doing wheels.

Nice ride,

Peter

Nice ride bro, love the new rims (18's?), does your car ride suffer much because of the lower profile tires?

thanks for the compliment!! It was a 19" wheels, and I have Ltuned shock and spring already, but I going to change it to Tein HA, Ltuned is little bit too soft for me and I want to lower it a little bit more too.

Looks nice! What nice tires did you go with?

I think the JDM Body Kit and the Tein's (I would get the CS rather than the HA's though) would round that car out very nicely!
