Tell us about how you made those wheels black. If I could venture a guess, I woudl say you sprayed them with flat black, and then clear coat.

Tape off lip/tire, spray the wheel with Dupli-color 500 degree gloss black, then high temp clearcoat. See this thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=137608

Cool DIY! I wanna do these to my wheels but I dunno how it's gonna turn out...

Oh and Abboushi I hate seeing that last pic Just curious though, how low is your SC? (ie. how much ground clearance did you have with the kit?) and did you have much trouble driving it around like that?

Cheers

Jose

No, Areostar has 17's off an IS300, they are narrower than the GS wheels.
