A few points:
- Try 18s without lips. The 19s you have now have no lips so they look bigger. You will get a similar effect with 18s.
- Harshness - 18s and the larger sidewall will help with the ride quality. L-Tuned will contribute to the harshness, although not that much. NOTHING will be as soft as stock. I am not talking about handling (better with L-Tuned) or the bad float (with stock). I am just commenting on ride harshness.
- A drop would certainly make it look better. You will lose a bit more of the ride quality but gain handling and look. Nothing is for free.

I live in pothole central. I can't risk lowering it! The car already scrapes like crazy and it's not even lowered.
Sometimes I wish I lived in Cali with the flat and even roads but then when I hear about how much they pay for gas I change my mind.

Ahh man don't go with those ASA and drop the car. I live in Hudson County and nothing is worse than there and Im dropped and plan on going lower. Get the Tein S Techs they are great and not harsh whatsoever

I love the swaybars...I gotta say, the car handles pretty dam nice. Yea, I want the best of both worlds. ![Sad](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/sad.gif)
The problem is, the stock rims did NOT come with the car.![Thumb Down](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsdown.gif)
The rims I got on there are all I got...
Wow, you guys love these MMR rims for sure!![Woohoo](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/woohoo.gif)
Makes me get a renewed appreciation for them.
I'm contemplating having them repaired and retouched now...hmmm.

get different ones than both of those though ..
![](http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb127/mikemareen/20%20lowehart%20x/IMG_2120.jpg)
20" lowenhart X position dish (jdm) 3 piece
20x9.5 +44 high disk (same as 20x9 +37)
20x9.5 +29 low disk (same as 20x10 +34)
will clear LS400 and LS430 big calipers.
all wheels in good shape, no damages. One side is gunmetal anthracite and one side is brushed aluminum. You don't see both sides at once so it's like having two sets of wheels on same car.
2099 SHIPPED OBO many many deals out there ... question is what are you going for >??
