These are not the best quality shots, but here are a few of my new Lowenhart BR5's. I need to get a good full side view showing the 18's in front and 19's in the rear, but I don't have that yet.
Call Phil at AutoAddictions.com for a good package price on wheels and tires. He's very trustworthy and reliable. I drove to his shop in Allentown PA and he even painted my brakes/callipers for free.
What do you think of my rims?
p.s.
Manaray, on my next car (SC400, yeah right) I promise to put on 20" AutoCouture Indicators.

Sweet dude! Classy too.(even though its not my style)....But why the staggered diameter? It wont help performance...Is it for the cosmetic effect? Looks nice, Tiny

Bobcat,
Looks really nice with the 18" in the front and the 19" in the rear.. How does it drive??
My only concern with doing the staggered setup was weight differential between the front and rear with respect to the wheels/tires (Although that might not be an issue since you have all that engine weight up front and in essence you are equalizing the weight to a certain degree).. Any problems getting it properly aligned??
Only missing thing is the Lexus stickers for the calipers and it is perfect!
Thanks for posting the pics!

Tiny:
It drives great, but I have not gotten it aligned yet.
I thought about those Lexus decals for the calipers, but I think I'm gonna hold out for the Stillen calipers (Manaray's gonna loan me some money so I can be more like him!!!).
Thanks for the compliments.

Nice! The difference in diameter isn't really noticable from the pictures...calipers look nice...see, no need for ricer style "lexus" logos on the calipers...(no need to point out the obvious, right?)
I'm filling out your loan papers right now...

Bobcat - the wheels look great, but your rear tire diameter is 3.4% bigger than the front. I'd be concerned this might screw up the VSC.
Why did you go with 18s front and 19s back and not one or the other all the way round?

manaray: will 6% interest rate work? let's see, if I borrow $15K I could do brake upgrade and part of a supercharger
bitkahuna: going with different sizes was kind of a quirky idea that Globe had, just to be different, I wanted 19's all around but thought the 18's would handle potholes better, etc.
I did not think about the VSC aspect, though. I welcome any physicists/engineers out there who may have input on that point.
