Default New wheels and tires 22x10.5 22x9 lowered






The car is lowered on factory air. This is the height I daily drive on with zero rubbing. Zito 22x9 and 22x11 rear satin bronze. Front lip, spoiler, and rear window spoiler are in the way and then it’s off to paint for all the chrome to be blacked out and respray the car. Calipers are painted black with the eBay Lexus stickers which cleaned it up without spending the money on a big brake kit. This is the wife’s daily so I’m about done messing with it.

I love that you didn't go polished or black. Bronzish gold looks quite nice.

Dumb question, what do you mean lowered on factory air? Are you using an aftermarket device to lower it past the normal amount using the factory air suspension like many people do?

Yes I didn’t expect it to look good with the chrome as the plans when I ordered these were to have it blacked out with all the grill and trim etc. but it surprised me. This color changes is the sun and looks almost satin black at night from 20 feet away.

No dumb question at all man, with air suspension you can trick the factory lowering links and sensors just takes patience in measuring etc. I have aftermarket lowering links in the front but after doing it I realized factory links will do the job if you don’t want it slammed with the tires in the fender wells .

These normally run around 2500 -3000 for the wheels . I have a dealer license with my buddy’s shop so I can get the zitto almost cheaper than anyone if you need a pair. I have run 3 sets on a few of my cars. Great wheels and the roads around here are terrible.

So they are 3K for the rims and I imagine you dropped a K for the tires also? A lot of money but looking good ins't cheap.
