man, that is classy as all hell! Very nice. How much lip in the back?

Is that tint I see on the windshield? Not a bad idea down there I'm sure.

What island you on? I'm a big Maui person myself.

I think the car is not properly "Equip"ed. I still think that my burning black 20" Equips would look better on your ride. 20" VS-XX's played out already, even if they just came out in 20's

Nah, all kidding aside, looks good. When you gonna join me in the Turbocharged arena? C'mon I know you wanna do it. Look we both had the same DA6 at one point, now you got a Lexus, jus-like-me, and same color different body style. Now you gotta swing yourself to the boosted side. do it, do it, do it now

I love the way the VS-XX looks on the GS, I've been debating about them also, how long did it take for you to received them? I'm assumming they were a custom order.

Very nice look. Those wheels have proven themselves to be a great match for the GS. GJ

Well I hope I can answer all the questions. Yes my windshield is tinted. My windows are tinted 35% all around. It took 4 to 5 weeks to get the rims from japan. My friend ordered them for me @ a damn good price. And the regarding the last question, yes I got the tanabe's on. Thinking about lowering it more. Don't know yet tho. Thanks for the comments.

Hey guys, I live on Hawaiian' time. I say that because I am a night person on the west coast and always up late. I have been to the islands around 30 times "Maui being the location of choice" and kind of consider it a second home. I guess I got stuck in your time zone~
Anyways I just wanted to say Aloha.
Represent!

Hey, your ride looks sweet!

What are the offsets on the rear?
I have 20x10 HRE 945's from Derrick at D2 Autosport on the way and I am just curious for the fit because I am running the same size tire (285/25/20) with a +43mm offset and want to add springs as well.

Did you get an alignment after installing the wheels and the springs?
Why are you thinking about going lower?
Which springs do you have and which ones are you thinking of switching to?


Quick Reply: got some pics of car w/ rims
