Default Night and day transformation...

Hey all -

After two years of owning my baby, I've finally punted for new wheels. IS350 with OEM 17" grannywheels (you don't see that every day...) to 19" LFA style wheels. F-Sport springs come next... bonus time is around the corner

Higher quality pics to come...

Before:

Nice! Kinda reminds me of the new maxima wheels. Should look even better after you drop it.

Thanks all. I've caught the aftermarket bug.

And I agree, it'll be much better with the drop...

It'll be lowered in less than 6 months.

Going to do rear sway bar and f-sport springs in one combo. And maybe black emblems.

In the before picture it looks like the rear rims are smaller than the fronts for some reason, maybe its just me. You don't have to listen to everybody to lower it, Jack that ***** up. Lol
