Everything flows together so well, there's none of that jarring after-market element that comes from doing the wrong modifications. The biggest compliment I can pay it is that it looks like an official Lexus add-on option straight from the factory and something Lexus advertising would splash on the cover of their GS brochure.
Thanks I'll take either car haha

Thanks guys. I'm loving these wheels more and more every day. Now this is coming from a guy who normally likes lighter color wheels with deep dish. The fact that they are 10 lbs lighter than stock is just icing on the cake. Last night I had my gf drive my car while I followed in her car and the GS looks amazing from ALL angles. Other drivers around me are so lucky when I'm driving lol. Very happy with my decision.
Yes I'm a big fan of fog lights. I don't understand this trend of deleting fogs from the sporty version of a car. Makes no sense to me. And yes I'm in the irvine area.

After 15k miles, the front OEM F sport 19x8 w/ Bridgestone Potenza RE050A weigh 56.7 lbs. The rears 19x9 weigh 60.0 lbs.
These Modulare with Michelin A/S Sport (at 5k miles) weigh 48.7 lbs for the fronts (245/35), and 50.7 lbs for the rears (275/30).
You can check out the tire specs from tirerack to guestimate how much the actual wheels weigh. My best guess is around 10 lbs per corner. I can definitely feel the difference when accelerating from 20 to 80 mph. The car feels so much lighter on its feet. I'm very happy with them.

Nice savings in unsprung weight. The rough rule of thumb is that each pound of unsprung weight saved is equivalent to 4 pounds of sprung weight saved in terms of handling benefits.

Hello mso4,
I believe I saw your car on jemboree road on Tuesday or Wednesday (can't remember) around noontime...
You were turning left into bedbathandbeyond side on the irvine marketplace side.
I think it was you cos I saw the wheels and drop.
Great mods anyway!!

Thanks.
And I saw your car too right when the light was turning green. Said to myself nice to see another black GS with nice wheels around here. I think you had some Vossen CV4? Looks great.
Anyways I was going to Lens Crafter to have my new Ray-Ban adjusted. You live in the area? I may have seen you one other time. Next time I see you I'll waive.
Jon.

If you're going to paint them any color I would stick to black. I like how you kept it very clean. This is perhaps the nicest GS on this forum. The only upgrade I can imagine is going to set of Ohlins or KW coil overs on it, But then you loose the Lexus suspension adjustment.
A 10 in my book.
