I keep reading how reliable Lexus is, I am finding a very hard time justifying anything newer than my 98 GS4, which is in good shape, and can't give up anything less than my 300 HP. New IS is quite costly in comparison, maybe I wait for CPO 2006 GS300, ideally I want AWD and 300 HP for a good price ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I am trying to get the same 18" set up as above, but in chrome, on my Spectra Blue GS4.
I'm thinking that can be pretty.

Chuck, looks great. Now might be a good time to paint those calipers. Or are you gonna go with a BBK? If so, powder coating sure would look good if you have the time to disassemble.

Mine came mounted and balanced. But they deflated the tires by about a 1/3 for shipping. I made sure though that the tire dealer place that installed mine double checked the mounting/balancing and had to add a bunch of air. Places around Charlotte wanted to charge anywhere from $10-20 per wheel. I was able to get Discount Tire do it for $20 total.
