thats maximum? maybe its just the size of the wheels that still give it that super low look then. i just thought you raised it a little.

LOL... that's actually as high as the front can go. I was only able to raise it 5/8" from what you guys saw at SR8... but it drives 100% better this way!

haha thanks! That's great, and I am proud to represent CCC in turn.
You mean the HKS muffler? I'm thinking I might remove the stock resonator and use it again!

if i could afford the tax on an is300 believe me id choose one any day over is200 Purely because its €2000 just to tax an is300 for the year.. but still 1000 to tax an is200 for the year

Original 17" wheels put back on. This camera really sucks in low light lol. They look better than I thought they would.... the wheel spacers are still on. I definitely like it..... seems everything I do looks good lol. I love this car! I changed them because one of the tires has a bolt in it. Though now I'm not sure I want to fix it. These tires on now look like they'll do much better in the rain (hopefully LOL) and snow hopefully. And they're closer to the original size (these are 225, original is 215, I have no idea why they don't match). The old 19" tires were way too big, which always made the car really hard to get the slammed look.... and turns out, made my speedometer read slow. No wonder the police clocked me going 91 when I thought I saw 88 lol. So yeah, I'm not sure I want to put those other wheels back on, they were never right anyway. I guess I'll fix the tire and sell them while the tires still have tread left.

Yeah these seem to match the style I'm trending towards these days.... IDK we'll see! They're just winter wheels for now.

I think I've found my next wheels... Work Wheels :: Products :: Emotion CR Ultimate *NEW*etc. Mine will be deeper/more concave though. I think either of those colors would look perfect, though I'm leaning towards the darker metal buff. Though that color seems like a special order finish (expensive) and honestly the regular finish looks just as good.

I'll probably get them once the winter clears up and I find some tires. The wheels alone will run around $2000. So I wanna make sure I really want them lol.

So, with the wheels I was looking to get... My goal with these was to find wheels that looked good on a Lexus.... wheels that look "Lexus". I hadn't realized why these wheels work so well, until now. Look what's on the new 2014 IS350. Almost the same thing LOL! What strange timing. And then I got to thinking about previous F-sport wheels, what did they look like again? Again, nearly the same style I was already looking at getting! I guess that's why the Work wheels seemed right on the car. So, my goal was to find the most Lexus-like wheels possible, I guess I succeeded. I can't wait for winter to be over to get them!
