Third Time A Charm...

I have visited the Club Lexus site for several years but never did a post. I finally will post after getting my 2013 LS 460 very recently. Previously I owned a 2001 GS 400, then a 2008 ES 350. I am extremely happy with this purchase. Although I am the 3rd owner of the vehicle, the 2nd owner only had it for 4 months and put some money into the car's aesthetics. The original owner turned the car in after his 36 month lease was up. The car has 22.5K miles on it now.

I enjoy reading all the wonderful posts and I'm sure I will be asking a few from you "experts". This is a LS Base model so I am wanting to add an amplifier and bass to the sound system, change out the wheels, and maybe do a body kit. Thanks for this forum! I'm attaching a few pics of the car.

Where can I find all the specs on my car? Items like Suspension, AWD or RWD, etc,?

Does it have the ML system? If so, I wouldn't mess with it.

Are the wheels 20's? They look great on the car.

Thanks! Yes they came with those aftermarket wheels, Ace Alloys. They are nice but want something with more chrome.

Yes, they are 20's. I would like to put 22s.

Unfortunately it does not. If it did, you're' right, I wouldn't mess with it.

i think they look great! I've got 22's and have a custom set of 20's on order. My 22's will be for sale shortly. Tired of worrying about every pot hole.

WOW! I know there's a ton of info on 22s but didnt realize it was like THAT. 2 comments already cautioning me. Perhaps I will stick with 20s. I do want more chrome though. Thanks for the feedback. Roads out here are TERRIBLE. which would make things worse!
