But then again, you're right, it's all preferance. After all, I didn't buy my Lexus to race, did you? Maybe that should be a poll...

He does have a point sasha...take it back

I decided not to go with the supercharger because i'm very satisfied with the V8 horse power. I'm having problems transmitting the existing horse power to the ground. So although it was a huge vote on the SC. I've decided to go with rims or the kit. Actually thinking about going for 21" LD-1's...

WHOA! 21" LD-1's... You might just need a S.C. to move those big wheels. Sure would look nice though. What ever you decide to get, keep us informed...

I am running 19X9 245/35 and 19X10 275/30 Advan Model V's wheels right now. My car also has the potential of pushing 500rwhp. I'd wish I was running 17X10 285/40 for the rear for stability and "the more tire" factor. So if you are pushing 400 in to the ground 20" wheels at 35-series profile tires (also not too much girth) might hinder your performance a bit.

Ray,

I really appreciate your comment... I would love to keep my car sleeper but the 4" deep intercooler core is not helpping me much... I tried every technique possible to hide the intercooler core behind the stock bumper, but it was not going to happen.

Hey V300, I had 19" on my Aristo but I didn't like the weight. I moved down to 18" 9.5, 10.5. Much lighter and better handling. What do you have in your's?
