This makes me sick to my stomach. The owner needs to be shot.

You guys are too harsh. I'm not feeling the 24's because you have to lift it to get those to fit and it looks like the original interior color was Cinnamon/Burnt Orange, which they F'd up because that's the sexiest interior color. Everyone has their own tastes. I don't like the style you guys call VIP because the rear wheel tucks too deep into the fender like some Buick with dead shocks/struts in the rear but you guys are all for it. I'm the type to throw the biggest wheel you can fit WITHOUT having to lift the car but most of you will disagree right? The thing I don't get is why you want to lower such a nice vehicle and lose the Lexus ride quality. You guys need to go back to the Honda game or buy an SC. IMO, a Lexus is for cruising, not racing. That's why I'm putting 22's on mine.

this is insurance claim money spent in the wrong direction... you should never take a LUXURY vehicle and turn it into a DONK which is as far from LUXURY that you can go. If the platform were different... if this was a Monte Carlo, an Impala, a something other than luxury... it would fit the look... which is still Ridiculous anyways. Two thumbs down and a cracked 40oz

I wouldn't raise a car, plain and simple but I do like big wheels.

Not my cup of tea just like I can't stand the "slammed" look with negative camber tires!!... but it's the owners car so if he like it, so be it lol. To each it's own.

minus the 22's...I agree with this post. Except I would like to lower mine a tab bit to kill some of the fender well space so the staggered 20" rims set up look perfect.

IMO by lowering the car, it actually gives it a better ride and handling capabilities. I had my GS on stock height with 20's before and it drives like a boat. A lot of body sways. This cars is not built for racing, my car is built for looks and cruise.

Putting anything bigger than a 22 on a luxury sedan is just stupid imo... This are luxury sedans not 4x4 off road trucks or suv's.

According to the VIN it was a beige car and charcoal interior. Its got a stock 2jz with a 177 rounds so at this point with those wheels on it I thinking a HS could smoke it off the line,
