Lightbulb ** GS400 on WORK EQUIP **

I've been through different sets of wheels over the years including Enkei, Volk, SSR, and a few others. Never been more happy than with my current Work Equips. So I thought I'd share pics. I've had these for about a year now but never posted.

I'm not a huge fan of show and prefer more go mainly because this is my daily driver. I do like subtle changes though, as I am installing a TTE front lip in a couple weeks along with a TT brake setup and rear stb. I'm looking into JDM window visors, rear window spoiler and LED tails, then I should be done modding the exterior. The only other mods i may do in the future are changing the wheel face color to the high polish thats underneath the black and adding chrome door handles and front grill. All mods are listed in my sig.

On to the pics -

Work Equip 18X9 ~30, 18X9.5 ~28
Yokohama ES100 235/40 255/35

Ride height was just raised an inch in the rear and half inch in the front to compensate for my new set of Dunlop SP9000 245/40,275/35.



Comments welcome.

In the sun..





Resting..

That ride height is PERFECT. Not too low and not too high.

Looks hella good. The Work Equips is in my top 10 favorites of all time... It will look even nicer once you get them hi-polished...

Oh man, your GS4 looks awesome! Huzzah to a fellow owner of Work Equips! Haha, I love the blacked-out spokes. I've also got 18s but mine are 18x8 and 18x9 (both +36mm).

I want to like it but find it hard to at this stage in your cars progression.

Im not the type of person to just say OH NICE BRO on everyones picture post so im being real with you.

In my opinion you would need something more perhaps a lipkit or something and an even drop on front and rear

Well as stated in the post I am adding the TTE front lip and I will also be re-adjusting the ride height once the Dunlops are installed.

no offense, I think the car would look better without the chrome tail light trim.

The only color I seem to like black wheels on is silver. Looks pretty good for 18's. I know you're probably going for the sport look but those pics remind me of how much I hate the rear spoiler on the GS. Makes the butt look big and unbalanced.
