CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Wheels, cars, brakes on both just look amazing!!!! Excellent choice on finish of wheels on your car Glen!!! I have always liked that combo of brushed center and polished inner and outer barrels!!!
I am so envious of your wheels and those meaty tires!!!!
I am going for the same shaved look on the rear end of my GS - just like yours! That "V8" emblem is from which model of Toyota/Lexus?
What tires did you have before? The Bridgestone S0-3's? Mine still have a lot of life left in them but they are now so annoyingly noisy!
Riding in my car compared to my wife's Maxima is like riding in a lawn mower. The noise from the tires is just driving me nuts.

Well yeah you certaintly are a distant cousin. You can notice the resemblance in the photo below. And you can certaintly tell which side of the family you come from by the apparent good looks .

The wheels are very clean and set the car off just right. Did the IS always have HRE's or did you guys buy them together??

...Huge congrats. now get that other stuff installed already

Thanks Adrian. I think your comments are pretty much the look I was going for. The bolts were tuff to give up and yeah we share the same taste in tire profile.
Maybe we're related as well? I notice a resemblance especially around the chin.and eyes

Do you have any rubbing with the 255-30-20 up front? I have 285's in my rear and always wanted to go wider to a 295 but was not sure if I would start rubbing.............nonetheless I assume going with a 30 size tire up front and 25 in the rear should be fine.
Everyone else. Thanks for the compliments guys.

Well I know you were always luvin the wheels. It was hard dancing around the subject what rims I was getting. I knew you were on to me for a while. If the front tires didn't take 2 months to get released I would of posted a long time ago. These tires are surprisingly quiet. I had the PS 1 before. Redgs4 is going from SO3 to Goodyear and now to the PS2 in a few months. He'll be able to provide some good insight.
The V8 emblem is from a Ford truck I believe. Got it new on Ebay. Never know what you'll find.

Both rides are beautiful. Love the new HREs. The 295s look HUGE in the rear, and I am also a big fan of the rubber bands. Any reason you used stoptech on the IS instead of AP racing?

OMG...
Both cars are looking great Glen. You've waited a long time for new shoes and it paid off big time... Now Big bro can be top dawg again.. haha Your GS has always been one of my favorites and now with the wheels, I'm just speechless.
I must admit, you have more guts then many of us rollin on 25 series tires in the rear. Keep your tire pressure on high status and watch for those nasty pot holes man..
Can't wait to see your car again... Oh, can't forget about the wifey.. Her car was "Pimp Status" from the get go...
