Dude, no offense but please stop asking to buy my wheels. I didn't answer your pm about it so that should have given you a clue. I have changed wheels many times but plan to keep these a while. When I get tired of them I will paint them GFM or put them on wifey's car (not)!
If I sell, check the classifieds.

Got the kit from www.andysautosport.com
I have many pics in my gallery. Check the link in my sig.

I live in MIA when I'm not overseas and trust me they are just admiring your car. I've lived there for 20+ years. Stay out of bad areas at night. Just common sense stuff and you'll be fine. Ferarris and Lambos are common in MIA just like SoCal. Don't sweat it.

I said "if you decide to change wheels I "MAY" be interested".You are acting like I am beating down your door to buy your wheels.
Sorry I will not bother you any more. usually these car forums are a great place to gather info on our cars. I belong to Corvette and Porsche Forums as I also have these cars. I enjoy looking at members rides and gathering and shareing information. I was hopeing this Lexus forum was not full of childish kids and I could gather some good info and possibly find a deal or two as I am getting ready to add wheels,body kit,DVD and Stereo system. sorry to bother you. Take care.

the 3GS Pimp Hand is Strong

As for the attention, it's normal, aint nobody gonna really steal ur ****, don't get too uptight over it. It's very VERY uncommon (i think one or two incidents happen in the 3GS section so far) for anyone to steal your kit or anything, your wheels though, that's something you need to look out for

On to the next episode.

The roof spoiler I ordered has arrived. I guess I'll put it on but I don't want the ride to look too pimped out. I'm thinking about putting it on wifey's GS. If she wants it it's hers. If not, it goes on the Ice350.

Just today these two guys were hanging on my rear. They drove up to look closer at the car then fell back. They took the same exit off the freeway and i tripped. I purposely slowed to a crawl to let them go about their way.
I've had a couple of episodes where I got more attention than I am accustomed to. It's just a car and just a GS. The kit didn't change the car that much................or did it?
I hate to ride around with my gun but but I'm prolly going because I don't like what I'm feeling. Any other fixed-up GS out there getting more attention than you want?

They have a double stack Taurus Millenium @ Turner's, but I would pay double to have a Kimber CPD. Kimbers are such comfortable platforms and I'm always pinpoint accurate with them.

Well it IS a GS, not the world most expensive car but hey, it's sexy. I can't tell you how many looks, thumbups, nods, I get in my 2GS, but then again, it's bagged

Even old people in RXs approve with a

you should get some tacks installed in the rear of the car and when you think someone is following you, you can deploy your tacks.

and if it makes you feel any better, people dont have to follow you to find out where you live. all they need is your plate number. its all public information.

What's more strange is I never got many second looks from guys in nice or nicer cars but now the heads turn. That's a cool thing.
