Default My Lexus is Dubless....thank heavens!

I know all of you made it your mission to tell me how awful the rims were and I got a little steamed about it...but I finally was able to find a cheap set of local wheels to put on the car.


Before:





After:




350z Stock 17s

I like the new style better, even if it looks a little sporty for the LS. It looks like it needs a drop now though. Yes, we are a demanding group. LOL.

Nothing wrong with dubs... but those rims you had were just hideous. Chrome 20" rims can look very nice on the LS, but only when they're tasteful.

I am not going to post on this board anymore.

I have no desire to put anything that cost over the 100 dollars I paid for the Nissan rims on this car. Thanks and goodbye.

This is a public forum. If u want to post pictures here then u should be able to take criticism & opinion. U have ur rights to mod ur ride & post the pictures here, but we do have the rights to speak out.
Harsh? If there is a fat woman post her naked pictures on a public forum, r u gonna say she looks hot?

Come on guys. I would like to think CL members are better than that. Some members have much more desire and $ to mod the cars. Others have more limited budget and need. There is no reason to disrespect each other with harsh criticism. Honest critiques are fine. There is just no need to be abrasive.

We're a family.

Better ,atleast you are in the right direction now.
The last rims were flashy bling. Most members are more or a subtle classy style but there are some who like that kind of look.

As bad as those dubs look, and they do look horrible, I'd rather them than those 350z wheels.

still, all the negative criticism outnumbers the positive 10 to 1...i'm surprised someone hasnt bashed him yet for the radio antenna that doesnt fully retract.
