As always Jun you did your thing and did it BIG, great shots and great camera skills!

The gold lugs are a nice touch to brings out the calipers too, you, Rain and Gato are repressnting (Classy) VIP hard for Texas. I got a text message about these pics from a friend who reps VIP (Q45) here in the ATL, after seeing them on the VIP boards. You just pushed him off the fence he is ready to go LS430 for real!

Yes, they were originally high polished which looked like chrome, I didn't really care for it, so I had them diamond cut.....nothing was wrong w/ the wheel before....just wanted them redone....wheels are 20x9.5 front and 20x10.5 in the rear.....

it rubs a little here and there if I make hard turns, but nothing crazy. Call me crazy but the sound of the rubbing is when I know I'm low! and stanced! good feeling sometimes...lol....... I ride that low most of the time. Just gotta watch out for pot holes and dips....but I'm usually just cruisin....

The place I took it too is super fast service, I dropped all 4 wheels off @ 5pm, called them literally the next day at 7am for the hell of it....and they were done over night! Thats how fast they work! Pricing here....depending what you want done...I had the face diamond cut...and the inserts paint a nice silver...b/c they could not diamond cut the inserts....which I really like how they came out anyways....each wheel at "Wheels America" company name....ran me about $115 for diamond cut...and an extra $30 each wheel for painting the inserts....
