Default Pics of my new 18's
Wanted something not quite as flashy so took off my chomes... Found these rare jdm oem wheels in the classifieds. Polished face with silver powdercoat elsewhere.

18x9 +45 . . 245 up front, 275 in the rear, 10mm spacer all around















My old wheels gonna miss them.. I might put them up in the classifieds soon if I can get a vouch.

Hey Bro! Thats clean! I recently purchased a 98 GS3 White and I wanted to get the same rims you just took off, but I decided to go with some factory 18's off the IS350, I think the clean look is coming back! Not that your chrome was not sick. It was but I love the SUPER CLEAN look of the New look. NICE!!! Hey can you give me some advice on your intake and exhaust. I have to replace my catylic converter so I might just look at doing an inexpensive approach to some upgraded exhaust. Thanks.

Just checking out this thread again. I really like the look. If I didn't have my 3GS wheels, this would be one of the few other OEMs I would rock.
