What happened to your last set of wheels? I really liked them Terrance, but i dont know what they were called.

3rd set already in what around 1 year. Shots came out really nice. Car looks good as usual.

Oh, do you like the kws over the jics?

If possible please let us know from who did you get the wheels, and if there is any rubbing.

Thx

Thanks again guys.

I got the rims from Clark at VIP Auto Salon. I have no rubbing issues. I already had my rear quarter panels because more aggressive offsets of previous sets of wheels.

Such a beauty! Love what you've done to it!

One question, did you use the same paint code as Lexus Matador Red for the calipers? If not what did you use? Was it specialized caliper paint in a spray bottle?

Aah. Thanks. Was wondering because the color looks just a shade darker than the body but must be just shadowing effect.

I saw pics on CL of an SGM LS460 with "candy apple red" painted Rotora calipers and was considering that color for my calipers. Never thought to use Matador Red... seems to give the same look. Nice!

Thanks. The rear rims are flushed to the quarter panels. The offsets are not too aggressive but I had the quarter panels shaved so I don't have to stretch the tires.
