Looks good, I was thinking about getting a Mesh style wheels too. I've been checking out 19" Axis Rev for awhile now but still undecided. Hahah

Not my favorite mesh style, but the fitment looks good!

thanks man! i love my set, even though they have some curb rash now
and to be honest i'm not sure if it's +25 or +30 in front... i ordered +25 but the label on the box said +30 so i dunno lol. as far as fender mods, it's pretty much mandatory. I had my friend give them a real good roll and I never rub now. you shouldn't have to pull or anything.

Looks good. I would have done 10's all around and run a 225/35 up front and 245/35 in the rear. Should fit with no issues. Otherwise the car looks great. Shave those rear Fenders and lower her a bit.

i considered it but i hate the look of stretched tires. i think the 255's in back are too narrow. lol

I like them! I'm looking at those in flat black, i was wondering how the fit would be in needing a roll on the rear fenders. I'd probably do 30's or 35's in the rear since I currently have 30's

I've always like a little dish, and a tire that's closer in size to what should be on the rim. Tires seem a tick narrow, but then, that's just my opinion.

Euro tag on a Japanese car............in the US. .................What? Not sure about that one bud..... I get it on the Merc's and Bimmers, but........ kind of odd on a Lexus in IL.

The wheels look good and fit nicely. Lug nuts do not.

I'd have probably done the body work and got the damage off the car before buying wheels, but that's just me. I think the car looks pretty good......... but that tag is really throwing it all off. IMO.

"PL" = Poland. If I saw that car driving down the street here in the US, I would reasonably assume that the owner is from Poland, or has a Polish background, and wants to show off their diversity...
