Hey...Those aren't 16's!
 

Uh, oh...Daddy-O had a visit from the UPS fairy...

...and Petey the Lexus kitty, says, "I likey!"

Are those 17's, Daddy-O? No, no, my child, I would not settle for 17" wheels.

Here's a little peek inside the box:

Can you dig it?

I knew you could....:D

Are you saying your UPS man is gay? :eek2:

Tires look big, wheels (what little you can see of them) look nice. :bigthumbu

Looks like your level 2 RX will be ready for the Dragon! :rockon:

You're keeping me in suspense....!!!! What are they? Are they the new RX330 rims? Graphite? Uhhgghhh.... Pics please

<biting my tongue>
:cool:


can't wait to see the pix

That cat is cute but too skinny........make him/her FAT!!!

Oooh, nice! Graphite polished! How much were they? My dealer quoted my $1,800-something rims only.

Actually my UPS man is a UPS woman, as is my Fed Ex woman. Both could probably
beat me wrestling...Hmmmwait a minute, that sounds great! Actually with these, I've
moved to Level 1.5 (In my mind)...Wait'll I drop it with Eibachs...Level 1.


When they're mounted, I'll post pics. It could be several days before this happens, though.

PS, Petey the Lexus Kitty is barely a year old. While he's well fed, he gets plenty of exercise.
I expect him to fill out more this year s he moves into adulthood.

Here's a link to my first post (01/07/03) regarding the pics you see. I waited six months for this.

Don't keep us in suspense too long Daddy-O!

Good to see things are coming together Daddy-O. Can't wait to see what they look like on the RX300. What kind of tires did you decide on?

I purchased Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus S8 235/55-18.
These are the tires that come on the RX 330 (or the Goodyear RS-A's)

After looking at all the pictures of 255/55-18's on the RX 300, they seemed a little too wide for my taste. When looking straight on, I didn't care too much for the tire sticking out past the fender. While 255's give the RX a wider stance, I was a little concerned about the wider tires throwing dirt/mud onto the paint of my Black Onyx RX.

Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus S8 235/55-18 $152 each at tirerack.com. Brandon was great to work with and I received them in 48 hours..

edit - They're V rated, so keep an eye in your rearview mirror.

Sooooo, are those rims
 

from the dealer or did you order them from another place? I am new to the forum, I have just purchased a 2000 rx 300 maroon. So bare with my ignorance 8) I want to get some 18" for my new baby. I can't wait to see your new pictures of the new wheels.

:yikes:

Sorry for the delay...I started a new job a few weeks ago and I am working 70+ hours a week. No time to do anything and no tire installers are open on Sunday where I live. I may have time next Tuesday 7/29.

It's killing me, too. I dropped a wad of cash on new wheels and tires and they're stacked up in the garage gathering dust.
