New to CL, bought my LC as soon as they came out through dealer program that included customization: blacked out, 21" wheels, carbon rear spoiler, painted calipers, etc. Also had car fully wrapped and have been very glad I did.
I recently bought a new LC500, a decision made only after acquiring invaluable information gleaned from the knowledgeable members who post here; thank you all.
Nightfall Mica was a must-have color for me, though I almost went with Ultra White as I seem to alternate between blue and white cars. I was leaning towards Toasted Caramel interior, but decided on the Black Leather (Touring Package) being thankful that the contrast stitching was sparingly, yet tastefully applied. The car came equipped with the optional forged alloys, but the dealer offered aftermarket wheels as another option. I went with 21" Vorsteiner V-FF 103 finished in Titanium Machine. The Vorsteiner wheels compliment the car perfectly, both in design and finish; incredibly, the deeply concave, wider rear wheels enhance the car's muscular stance even more so.
Thanks to this forum, I was informed about the various issues reported. I made sure the fuel pump recall had been addressed on my car, and I inquired about the noisy brakes issue. The service advisor told me the so-called fix is lower-friction brake pad material, with a trade-off of less stopping power. I'm sticking with the original pads for now; while the brakes were a bit noisy for the first few hundred miles, they're nearly silent now - go figure. And what's with the ambient lighting system (illuminated entry system)? Dimly lit when you first enter the car and start it, but then dimming down to negligible when the car is put in gear.
If anyone is in the Atlanta area and in need of original 20-inch wheels and tires, let me know as I have very lightly used set and we'll connect off CL site.
Love the new look Out with the old look Love these wheels. BCForged HCA21 These are for sale if anyone needs them 10k miles on them, no curb rash or blemishes
nice hjjinc7 - what are the new rims and do you know if they're lighter than stock and by how much?
edit: nevermind on type, see wheel type buried between pictures (BCForged HCA21).
