car looks like a lexus supermodel with big implants. LOL. Dude if I saw your ride on the street I would definetly do a double take or a big head turn. That thing stands out man. I like the way you went the extra mile to get it all to fit with the fitment and rubbing issues. Now you have a lexus that stands out even amongst lexus freaks and zealots . Nice ride.

What happened to E-40's vocals? That looks crazy! It's AWD right? How's the ride quality, any vibration/shimmy on the freeway at around 60-75mph?

That's nice to know that a staggered setup on your AWD doesn't cause any vibration.

Ever since I had my iForged Aero wheels installed (brand new) I've always had some level of vibration. I'm thinking that I have defective wheels. My wheels/tires have been road force balanced many times. I've also had numerous alignments as well.

do you have hub rings? that does play a difference. not only for vibrations but its better for your studs since they arent carry all the weight of the wheel

I have hubcentric rings. I brought the car in to the shop again and they road force balanced all wheels. Drove it on the freeway and still experienced vibrations. I drove back to the shop and they road force balanced the wheels/tires again. I got on the freeway and it's the same results. They mentioned that the wheels/tires are okay, nothing was out of round. Anyone know where I can get an AWD vehicle balanced with the wheels/tires on the car?
