Default Just ordered my wheels!

I'm stoked guys! I just ordered my wheels! Big ups to Derrick at D2 and Uncle Sam for my tax return! I decided on the DONZ Bugsy 20 x 8.5 & 20 x 10. Silver with the stainless steel lip. They are going to be mounted on 245/275 Falken FK452s.



I am also awaiting the arrival of my K-Sport coilovers that I purchased from Robert at MVPmotorsports. I can't wait to get all of this installed on the car, spring is right around the corner and I think the LEX is going to be ballin'

I decided on both of these products because they were within my price range and not many people on the site have either of these. I know that DONZ makes quality 1 piece wheels and I have always been fond of the split 5 spoke design. I have read great reviews about K-sport coilovers on other enthusiast sites so I figured they'd have the same performance with their Lexus line. I will keep everyone posted on how they ride and such.

Drew
