Sorry to hear the pics didn't work out. FWIW...probably not much...the short time they were up allowed me to confirm that, for my tastes, 20's are too much for this vehicle. 18's seem to be the perfect size.

I've been considering the 30mm drop springs, and for a while was thinking of mating that w/ 20's, but the more I think about ride quality and appearance I'm leaning toward keeping everything stock.

Sounds like you need to mod your girlfriend instead of her car

You got that right, one day you will have to decide if the operational cost does not give you the return on investment.

Heh, it's not about who's wearing the pants... It's about her viewing something in her own way as disrespect in some form. In the end, it's really nothing about the wheels or the car, it's showing MY respect to her by taking it off, and publicly apologizing to show I'm not ashamed of it. Cause there isn't anything to be ashamed about. We all may know that, but she apparently views it differently.

If ya wanna view it as "Pwhipped", that's cool, nobody would really know about our sex life anyway, or if we even have one, lol. But anyway, beside the point. Thanks to those who understand. It'd be different if it was my car, but it isn't. It's hers, and I give her the respect.

Personally I thought your comments were a little TMI but I admire the way you've handled some of the grief tossed about in this thread. And, selfishly, I still appreciate what turned out to be a sneak peek at the pics to confirm that they're too big for my tastes.

Dude, seriously don’t post anymore replies to this post. This forum is about discussing the Lexus RX. How to make it look better, run better, how to make it just overall better for you, and to give advise or help to others with the problems that they have with the vehicle not your relationship, I could not car less if you are whipped or not. You came to this forum for one reason and one reason only because of your love for the RX (whether its your or not)

The bottom line is your gal wanted you to take the picture down of her truck and you respected her wishes. You are still a RX fan and you have access to one. So just keep imparting your wisdom and advice to us about the RX. We are here to help you save money on parts and services and you the same for us so let’s move on pass this.
