I agree.

But I really miss the less restricted driving without a body kit. Maybe a full front bumper replacement instead of adding a lip kit?

I am beyond happy with the Vossen CV3 wheels thus far, they are truly amazing in pics and even better in person. The wheel fits the 3GS perfectly, like it was made for it. The compliments I've gotten in such a short time has been amazing. I took the car to a car meet on Sunday and people were constantly talking about the wheels, especially the rear concave one. They are so classy yet aggressive and classic at the same time.

WRITE UP TO COME!

Yes, df, 2" drop and I was out on business for a week, came back and the car is really dumped as the springs settled. I love it

Oh, the 2GS market is a big market we are going to explore ASAP! Would look great to me.

Thanks. I am kind of scared of a kit b/c I already have scraped the GS 430 to be damned with L-tuned skirts.

But put that Lexus emblem back on the front grill!!! Grill looks bare without it.
Thanks. LOL, we put it on at the shop, I just don't like it. I don't had front badges on the 2GS either.

Default 1siklexs car rolliiiin!

Sorry I love Mike's car, especially with those new wheels on there. I had to share this. I didnt know if he had posted somewhere else but damn his car looks good! Oh and because I know he would want me to say this: the wheels are made by Vossen!

Thanks everyone for the compliments, means a bunch!

I am also flattered the owner of the Lexus Enthusiast covered the car and this last one is pretty cool, Lexus U.K actually tweeted about the car and the Vossen wheels. Whoster let us know in TLN!

http://lexusenthusiast.com/2011/07/2...vvscv3-wheels/


Whoster also told us in TLN that Lexus U.K saw the car and tweeted about it, very flattering!

I've washed the car a couple of times with the CV3 on it and OMG, it is so much easier to clean than the stock wheels or any other wheel I've had outside of the stock 17" GS wheels. Another plus

Now I've been getting compliments from non-car people and the first word I usually hear is "classy wheel". Couldn't agree more.

More to come...might take her for a mini-track day
