Question First picture post of Mikey's IS350

Whats up everyone, I recently purchased some rims and figured i would post some pics to see what everyone thought. They are Lowenhart LD1's 19x9F w/3" lip and 19x10R w/3.75" lip +36 all around and i had to run a 15mm spacer up front to clear the rotors. I am dropped on Megan coils and have 5% tint all around. You will either love it or hate it but feel free to tell me what you think of this set up. Sorry for the crappy pics but I suck as a photographer.

Not the worst I've seen lol. It's a hard style to pull off, but not bad. Good job with the drop, which is more important

drop looks sick! i like the deep rim in the rears. going with 5% fronts is tough in CA...a lot of quick rolling down windows when the cops are nearby. lol! your whole ride looks pretty good man!

Those wheels look huge for 19". Would have thought 20"s for sure.

Looks good. Id suggest JDM Visors. Redouts and a debadge. You can pull the style off, you just need a little tweaking and creativity.

Love the drop and the super dark tint, wheels are nice, but not my cup of tea. Overall, good job...

rims look like the Lowenhart LD1's which are mostly one Mercedes, they look good, but not my cup of tea.
