lol are you serious? wind tunnel would probably cost more than the car just for one test. haha yes and those wheels are indeed 3 piece but not volks. i think its made in mexico by some third party company that does em custom made. I got these for only $200 with goodyear eagle tires lol yup pretty fronts are 20x10 and 20x11.5 back. the offsets are unknown since it doesn't show anywhere but the back is pretty wide. stretch with 255/30/20 rear and 255/30/20 front.

I think it looks better than my 3 piece bbs wheels, I like that flat black look specially the lip, makes it look more aggressive, maybe thats just my personal opinion, it actually matches your home made lip. I've neven seen an ls400 that looks like its about to murder a ferrari. at least your doing your own thing. i kinda miss my ls400 now ever since I traded it for an is350.

Man this thread.

wind tunnel for reals. You think this looks awesome? I wonder what the hell does your IS350 look like?

To the OP, is your front bumper molded to your fenders? Please take off your civic bumper (aka Lip). You are making us look bad.
