Default Where are all the obsidian owners?

And by Black I mean my "Obsidian" GS owners. I'd love to see some of these clean ladies posted here. Although I picked up a Nebula Gray w/ Red Interior I really have a soft spot for these black beauties especially on a Lexus. It's classic and think this color looks best on the GS especially when its clean. It makes the GS look super sexy. Thoughts?

Ha! Couldn't agree more about Obsidian. I have plans to do a complete paint correction and ceramic coating here in the next few weeks. Once I do, I will absolutely be posting some glory shots.

@ 2jS160 always been a fan of those OEM 19" F-Sport Forged wheels. Looks great!

Thanks! I'm running the staggered set up. I have a set of Volk's for the summer. The F Sport's look amazing and are more practical with all season tires.

I heard they are definitely lighter than even the 18" stock wheels that come on the 4GS and 3IS. Any issues with the AWD and staggered setup? Also, how have these wheels held up in the pothole-ridden city we live in??

They're noticeably lighter than the original 19" F Sports. No issues to date as I'm only running 1" wider in the rear rim and +10 mm tires (245's). Rolling diameter is within 3% tolerance from the front and no traction light issue. The wheels have held up like a champion 'Knock on wood'.
