Default A couple of pics of my 1GEN with 3GEN wheels.

I know you guys are going to say "drop it", but I am too old for that. I love the soft, luxury ride I have and I don't like to feel all the bumps in the road. Not to mention, having to constantly watch and swerve to in the road to avoid stuff because my car "sits low". Don't get me wrong, I do love the look of the dropped cars. I just wanted eveyone to see how the 3GEN wheels look on it. Thanks, for looking! Thanks, to "JWIN", too, for selling me the wheels! :-)

Sorry, I took the pic with a camera phone and the clublexus wouldn't let me upload but one pic at a time.

GS300I6,

No, I don't have any rubbing at all. I agree with all of you that it would look much better with a drop. Just not for me.

Looks great! Don't worry about dropping it. Although it would look better . But really, the 3GS wheels look a lot better than I imagined. Nice upgrade .
