Default Spring time goodies

The one good thing with buying a car in the dead of winter is you get to fall in love with it all over again in spring time.

Actually purchased these wheels 2 years ago before I even owned an ls460 , I sold them , then found them again last month in Montreal and bought them back form the guy I sold them too

The beauty of these wheels are they were specifically built for the ls460 , and came with a set of hubcentric rings

22x9.5 - 22x10.5 - Forgiato Martellatos

Plus some license plate covers

Will post photos very soon

Gorgeous wheels, but if they were specifically built for the LS460, why do they need hubcentric rings?

It was slim pickins around here this year for wheels locally, so I did what I had too

I don't think many wheel manufacturers play with their hub bore size very much, I think they mostly come in one standard size and you need rings to make the fit perfect

But these offsets and sizes were built for this vehicle, I know because when I first bought them it came in the box with the spec sheet from the company who had them bult and shipped to Canada, wasn't directly from forgiato but from a 3rd party supplier

I really wish I could adjust the height on this thing without having to buy an install a controller

If anyone has experience with the lowering links pls let me know

It just needs a 0.5 inch drop in rear and a 1 inch in front , id be fine with that

Also needs a small spacer in the rear but that's no problem

My car reminds me of my bedroom as a teenager, on first glance looks fairly clean and respectable, but under the bed and in the closet is full of garbage , **** mags and pizza boxes stuffed in there

I don't think anyone would guess this is a work vehicle, until they pop the trunk lol





Also got the weather techs out and the OEM mats back in.....its finally starting to feel like a Lexus

Man those look great. I think the stance is fine and lowering it much more might take a way from that cool look.

I actually have the Skipper Lowering Links still installed on my car. The purpose of why I installed mine was to shorten the travel distance when lowering the car w/ the controller (since it took so long), but theoretically, you could shorten the length of the lowering links to get the car "slightly" lower. Bear in mind, when I say "slightly" it's probably around 0.5-1".

You should have spent the money on replacing your peeling pleather couch

Thanks man, its a tough call, I don't wanna lower it much but a inch up front and half inch in real to me would really finish it off nicely

It also needs a 10 mm spacer in the rear but that's not a concern right now

cool man, yes that's all I need, just a half inch to an inch and I'm golden

I'm just looking for a shop that's willing to take on the job, here in Toronto no one wants to do anything aftermarket to your car, its a pain in the *** every single time
