After a long day of school and work, I get a call telling me my rims are ready to be picked up. Rushed over there as fast as I could. Picked these bad boys up, thanks to the good ppl at M1 Autosport. Let me know what you guys think.

u have to use aftermarket lugs with these wheels. the stock ones has the washer looking things with wont fit the wheel. don't even try u might scratch ur new wheels.

im not sure on that one...as long as the lug is long enough and the bore is big enough for the washer to fit in i'd recommend stock lugs as long as they look good. using universal tuner/cone lugs will probably accentuate the wheel shake you already experience on your GS. If anything as long as its long enough and the washer wont fit get the washer machined down a little. The stock lugs are good because of the way they actually distribute some of the car's weight on the rim, not just the stud like tuner lugs do.

I had to switch over to aftermarket lugs, not sure if the Lexus will.
