My nieghbors think I change my cars' wheels more than I change socks. Almost but not quite.

I had a set of Moda's since about 2001. I liked the looks and fitment a lot. When it was time to put some new tires on I had them refinished in chrome. Sizes are 18x8 and 18x9.

Here is a before shot:

Well it is a very small company here in the Dallas area. No website, they don't even have a fax machine! Since you are so far off from Texas, you would have better luck looking nearby your city.

The wheels look nice in chrome :thumbup: If you received a warranty, keep a close eye on the new finish. Watch for discoloration and bubbles.

Rims and car look great, did you do anything at all to the suspension?

Yes, the ole "L-Tuned" kit of shocks, struts and springs. Otherwise stock. Here is a photo of before the suspension and wheels.

Nope I don't wanna go back !!

Looks like OEM GS rims, but an inch larger. Thats why Lexus should have done, offer 18". the 17" looks a bit too small for a car this big. Everything looks great though!

Thanks, and I really like that wide 275/35 look that is tucked nicely on the Moda 9" wide rears, I am a pretty tough critic on rear wheel fitment and this one suits me just right!
