thanks everyone for the compliments... I am loving the way the car came out, Zone 3s on silver looks classy.. the way a Lex should. There are so many badass cars on this forum, I feel like mine is starting to take part too...
From what I understand, the wheels were once Bob Hale's. They are 20x9.5 f with a 255/30 and 20x10.5 r with a 295/25, some thin rubber... Michelin Pilot Sports...
The teins could go lower, but the wheel setup wont allow it for the moment. I'll be rolling the fenders and doing an alignment this coming weekend, then we'll see what the height is looking like then.
The future, I dont think I'll be doing a kit anytime soon, I actually like it this way unless I find some very basics sides. Next will be exhaust, some engine dress up, lighting, maybe those Carson black chrome headlights... they got me thinking... but the very next thing I have to do is put the porter cable to work to bring out the shine... that's when I'll put my girlfriend behind the camera with some great so cal backgrounds and post some more pics....
and Derrick from D2... thanks for the advice and talking... I was gonna call Monday and order those equips in 20s, but these fell into my lap... so to speak...
Thanks to Son and Joe from Dynamic in Midway City off of Bolsa... they worked to get the car setup just right and didnt rush anything. They have always been great to work with and really know their Lexus...
BTW... since I know this question will come up, the car rides so freakin smooth its sick, I can believe with the thin rubber and the coils set on the stiffest setting its as smooth as it is, but there is no vibration at any speed and the road feels smooth as silk, even when I know its not...

First off... congratulations - the car looks fantastic!
I'm pretty sure LEXUS_KID has my old wheels, but maybe he sold them... (?)
If you bought these from Son, they are a different set; 20x9 + 20x10.5.
Glad to hear they are running smooth - that's why I love hub-centric wheels!
Feel free to post more pics! maybe we'll see you at an upcoming CL meet?

it actually can go lower. I am going to be rolling fenders soon but probably wont lower it anymore since I really like the stance as it is.
