Default Shoes from Japan

I finally got my wheels mounted, balanced and on my GS. I bought a set of Work Equip DDC's from rbwheels.com and a set of tires to compliment them from tirerack.com. I've only had the wheels & tires on for a day but, wow, the change from 16" platinum edition wheels to the Equip's makes a gigantic difference. Here are the specs:

Wheels:
Work Equip DDC
18x8 +36
18x9 +36

Tires:
General Exclaim UHP
245/40 18
275/35 18

And the obligatory pics.

Thanks Seize! Other than tints, a drop is next on the list of to-do's.

Thank you thank you. I haven't been able to find many pics of GS's with Equips. I saw a pic of an NSX with Equips and just fell in love.

A comparison? The Mazdaspeed 3 has a nice 2.3L turbo with a 6-speed manual transmission. It can carry a lot more stuff than the GS. The Mazdaspeed 3 is a Mazda and the GS is a Lexus

Dynamic Dimple Composite lips are rare as hell... Work and Lowenhart are the only 2 brands that sports them... Car looks clean.

Thanks TYPEII. I had the hardest time finding other wheels on sale with DDC lips that I wanted. Xtremely happy that I was able to get my hands on these.

I found them in 19s but opted for the 18s because of the lackluster roads in MI.

SEIZE! Damn you and your temptations! Haha. That pic gives me a lot of motivation to ramp-up my researching though. Thanks!
