What a beautiful car. Great wheel/exterior color combination.

Just a question, I see people have said that you are using a V-LEDS HID kit. Are you using aftermarket housings or original housings that came with the car?

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Wheel specs are 19x10 +42 19x10.5+30(+25w spacer)
Tire specs are 225/40/19 and 255/35/19
Front Fenders are flattened, rear fenders are shaved.
Front lights are 6k Purple from V-LEDS, city light is a 194 LED from V-LEDS.
Headlights are OEM Lexus replacements (about 1.5-2 years ago I resprayed the front and got new lights and everything, no accident, just rock chips)

I have one S2000 projector, just waiting for another one to pop up and then I'll look into retro, but I don't have any major glare issues right now...

Shots were done with a Canon Digital Rebel XT (antique by todays standards) and finished in Photoshop with various adjustments.
Let me know what shot you want Hi-Res and I'll see if I can get it to ya.

I think the SSR's really go well with the car, I've considered running some other wheels in the future, but I'm not sure it will do anything for the car. I'm down to just one set of SP1s, (used to have 3 sets)

When I removed the RCA's I also installed Daizen Bushings all around, so I really can't say that I noticed a driveability difference with or without RCA's, but the bushings make it feel like a 4000lb go cart if that possible haha.

Overall I'm happy with the car as it sits, considering the VVTi GTE swap but I want to get the right deal on the right motor...

Great looking car. SooPer clean. I have been a fan of these work wheels called meister, I really like the style but they are way out of my budget. What model of SSR are these and are they any cheaper than the work's?????
