Default Ice350 Pics

Here's the first pics of my new mods on the new car. BTW, I'm trying out nicknames. How is Ice350?
Anyway, after the car was lowered, the wheels looked much better. Still too small but they look okay. The car looks okay as well. It definitely has a more sporty look. The guys at the wheel shop gave me props cause it seems they are sick of everyone coming in blinging out their nice cars. Then they keep coming back with problems because 22's aren't meant for most cars. Chrome is still my favorite finish but I'm digging the silver thing for now. The car rides absolutely fantastic. I want 20's but I may just leave it because the ride is so sweet. Kudos again to the Tanabe NF210's.
ANyway, a few pics:

The wheel sizes are 19x8.5 36 offset front and 19x10 44 offset rear.
Tires are 245-40 and 275-35.

If I keep these wheels, I'll put some wider meathooks on. The rear can definitely handle a 285 width tire.

For me your wheel work perfectly, I like the way the car looks with the wheels and you’ll have enough side wall on the tires to take those bigger bumps with no fender rub and probably a much better ride too. Keep um.

I like it too Reggie, has a oem sport look to it. Nice job. You can always go 20's but this is a clean look as well.

I do not think the wheels look too small, they look about right to me.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I'm liking it more as well. Looking at it today sunk in. The sporty wheels and drop has caused me to drive it more sporty. The 19's with fat Michelin rubber enables me to chill in luxury when I want. It now feels like an adequate replacement for the G35 and sc300. It is a good combination of the two. I can't wait until the break in is over so that I can floor it to see what it's really got. The sound the G35 makes can't be duplicated but hopefully the burst will be close. The looks and cool of the SC can't be totally duplicated either but hey, this is a GS. I'm serious when I say the 98-2000 SC400 is the best car ever created by Lexus and I plan to get one.
Until then, it's the Ice350 all the way.

I'm starting to like that nickname.
