I'm new to the forum corrado but you seem to be a most resourceful member; I recall you were the first to notify us of the official pricing of the NX; thanks! Are you planning to replace the rims as well? I personally like the non-F rims better than the F

What mods are there to do with this thing? There is no aftermarket for it yet that I have found. However, I would certainly love to be proven wrong.

Anyone know if a wider wheel can fit under there and not go beyond the inside fender liner? I think the 225s that come with the all seasons are much too small for a car this size. The car would do much better with a set of 255s all around.

Based on his IS build I think it's safe to say he'll keep himself busy until aftermarket parts start showing up.

Nice. My favorite mods are ones that look like they should have been included with the car.

Custom Painted Alloy Wheels 1 of 2

Mod Unveil: Custom painted "Midnight Graphite" alloy wheels. :D

Wheels: 20 x 8.5 +35, 60.1 custom bored to Lexus specs - Braelin BR02 (aka Ace Convex)

Sanded, primed, and 3-coat painted with a two color-paint blend since graphite was too light and black was too dark, so it's just right! Topped it off with three coats of clear gloss. :thumbup:
