Default My new 18" wheels

Before



After


Been looking for after market wheels for a while. Quite lucky to have found a new set of Lexus GS450H 18" wheels going for a song. Car has been dropped just over an inch front and rear with Tein Hi Tech springs and using OEM KYB shocks. Didn't want to drop too low 'cos would scrap on driveway. Like the ride very much.

Springs were installed about 4 weeks ago. Do they need a while to settle down?
