the feedback = teh incredible!
i LOVE THESE!!
i ran into a problem though and of course CL forums had me up and running in 10 minutes. There is a ground height sensor (or whatever its called) in the rear and after the drop i think the settings for the headlights got all out of whack. I was all good, feelin great about the new drop, until night time came and my Auto-Leveling lights started trying to auto-level while driving down the road....up, down up down..how embarrassing. Even had the old red exclamation mark on the dash. I got home all tired and wore out from a long day and i got right on the forums to find out why. I got my answer within MINUTES of posting and although my info was for a older IS300 or something, it was EXACTLY the same for my car! I couldnt sleep knowing my '11 had a dash light blinking and malfunctioning lights, so i went back to my shop at 10pm and yanked off the wheel to take a look. I "flipped" over the little arm that is hooked up to the sensor, like what was described in the thread, and BAM, it was BRANNNEEWWW again!! Everything is perfect.
Thanks to this forum, i got some great sleep last night with, mission accomplished and no more drama!
thanks guys! Now i need to go wash it and smash out, its a NICEEE sunny California day!
P.S. anyone wanna see an install video of how it all happened? It will be on youtube in about an hour.

To be honest, i cant make everyone happy. If i chose the lame *** wheels that you would have chosen, im sure plenty of people would say the same exact thing. Its just the way it is. I even had someone tell me that rivets on an $8,000 set of 26's looked cheap.....i mean c'mon people this is 3 piece and 3 piece wheels have rivets. What im trying to say is, even if something is off the chain, the tightest $h!t you can get, there will always be someone with a big mouth on the net trying to talk them down.

When you show-off your car with pictures, you will always get opinions (good and bad)....so not worth over-reacting to, be thick-skinned. I am shopping for some V3s as well. Good choice.

i HIGHLY disagree. Lets see your rims. I want to see what a "non" cheap set looks like.

you are right, i forgot that there isnt a such a thing as a d*ckhead free forum. Its funny, because on this very forum, probably 50% of the lexus's i have seen are ugly or i dont like the wheels or something else about it. I dont really find myself going out of my way to tell someone their car looks ugly or cheap. I just move on. Thats just me though i guess.
