I have 5%on my Ls and I love it I can’t stand driving in a fish bowl lol tips for driving with illegal tint if you see a cop behind you roll the fronts all the way down and brake one law at a time avoid carpool cause they will pull you over as a routine traffic stop, if you have 2 people in the car that’s good but most likely you’ll walk away with fix it ticket i usually pay the ticket because it’s just expensive to take them off hahaha

The 18" 5 spoke is a nice look.....

As soon as my tires wear out I will look to replace my very old 17" 7 spoke chromes with an after market 18" 5 spoke (likely high gloss black)….

I am too much of a "sissy" to attempt 5% all the way around in CA... too much trouble with the police using that as a reason to get pulled over.....

Nice looking car.... Enjoy...

I had 5% all the way around on my last car, Camry hybrid, and it was too dark for me driving at night, but that car did not have a backup camera so that didn't help.

Never once was I bothered by police, though I figure much like the LS, the Camry is considered an "old person" car and doubt many police give it a second look, which is fine by me.

I went with 35% on the fronts and 20% rear and it seems to be perfect for me.

May I ask where you got your wheels and how much you got them for? Are they replicas? I'm looking for a set of the oem 5 spokes too.
