Nice Job!!! I like the 18" rims with the car lowered!

OT...Has anyone put a 18" rim on the front and a 19" in the rear?

That is correct. Two shots are taken, then merged together in Photoshop.

Passnu2, I thought about that idea of an 18" in the front and a 19" in the rear, but this wheel is only offered in 18".

Absolutely good lookin with the Hotchkis drop.It makes the car look really aggressive with the low front and higher rear. Very nice choice of wheels too! Amazing change in style with "only" 2 more mods.

Thanks again for the kind words.

Yes, the camera is a Cannon 40D(I think?). I'm not a photographer myself.

The Hotchkis springs gave me a 1.5"/.9" drop that I'm very happy with. It could be a little bit lower still but the springs haven't full settled just yet.

I'm clearly going for a more aggressive look, something different than the everyday norm you get from most Lexus's. My last car was clean and classy, this one is quite different.
