My favorites so far are the Salina's although it was tough to get away from the 17" L-Tuned Superturismos... I really liked them too... Chrome just wasn't my bag...

Notice in the 3 compro shots how the Salina's are flush in the rear as compared to the 17's.

I would bet the Superturismos would look good with a spacer to bring them out flush... but i wanted the wider rears... make sure cars behind me know I mean business.

Yeah... I have been soooooo busy since I got back from meeting with him.

Thanks to Motu1 for helping me complete the first stage of my cars life. Really nice guy and went out of his way to meet me for the exchange... a true CLer indeed. His new wheels look awesome and I think when he is finished with his car it is going to look really sweet. He and I seem to think a lot of the same visual mods would be appealing.



P.S. He looks like he could be LexforLife's little brother... LOL

It did take a long time for these wheels and the L-Tuned emblems to happen... and can you believe there is now another person seeling the Salina's on here...



Somebody interested in 18's should scoop them up... sweet piece of Lexus history.
