Z...

You in Houston?? I noticed that NXCESS tag.

If you are, why weren't you at our little get together Sat?

Nice car regardless.

I need to get my TTE lip on...like it. Did you use the adhesive that came with it or other?

Late.

Thanks for the compliments, its really about the wheels. They really set the car off.

Ryan,
I bought the car from Nxcess, but I live in Austin. Yes, I did use the adhesive that came with it. I didn't realize that it was black. When putting it on, just clean off the excess with a damp rag, or use some of the paint cleaner that comes with the kit. It was really easy to install. I installed it first on the car, also added 2 extra screws underneath to pull it tighter to the car. I then had it sprayed, and then installed. It is definitely nice, and adds the clean look.

very nice indeed, and making quick progress. what stopped you from going a tad bit bigger?


don't take this the wrong as many others have your rims and even more like the style, but the rims looked extremely beautiful on the work's website, but are a little less dazzling in real life.

bravo261,

I disagree the Euroline LS look even better IMHO in person than on the website.. Pricewise they are reasonable and quality is top notch.. 18 inch rims naturally look too small on any Lexus car but especially on the GS..

Zulfie,

They look really nice but just a bit too small.. Love the TTE lip and I have one here to install on our GS but I might wait till winter is over to do that.. Thanks for the install tips too!
Very clean GS.. Just the way it should be done! Kudos!

Thanks for the compliments. Once I get my hands on a good camera, I will take better pics. I agree with Savvy, in person the rims definitely look better.

I agree they are small for the GS, however, I really didn't want to sacrifice ride quality with anything bigger. The ride is perfect combined with the L-Tuned setup. Later....
