Yep - they're non-directional...and I *love* them. I ran a set on my old E350 4Matic, and they perform really well year-round here with our typical east-coast weather cycle (rainy springs, potentially snowy winters, and hot-as-Hades summers). Price-wise, they're in the middle of the pack (not cheap, but not Michelin-priced either) - so I consider them a great value.

I mounted my dash cam, fastrak and WiFi antennae for wireless CarPlay today, after waiting two weeks after my tint. I love the tint; it was just in time for the heat wave

I peeled off the plasti dip and applied their Hyperdip line yesterday. Chrome deleted most of the chrome. The finish is a lot smoother and cleaner now.

I used to have those that said Lexus of Pembroke Pines on my old GS350 too, the one in the driver side was just a big blob by the time I traded in the car lol .... on this one they left the original lights which I'm glad so I can go back to regular lights if I want to. These I put in are not too bright honestly but look pretty cool.

This is the link of the ones I got. Again, they are not very bright but they are ok and do look pretty good.

Thanks! Yup the lights were a blob when I was looking at the car and I had them replace them with a new set lol. Those ones are actually pretty bright. Thanks for the link, I will try these out.

@Hypebeast how do you like those wheels vs the original OEMs? This are the noise reduction ones right?

They are the factory accessory F-Sport Forged wheels and I love them. Super super lightweight and the color is really cool, almost like a smoked chrome or black chrome in the right light:

Inspection, alignment and giving 245/275 Good Year Exhilarate tires a try since the front summer Bridgestones were shot.

Also spent 3 months babysitting a 996 911 and now i REALLY want one. Really missed driving manual. Perhaps if I find the right car....

Those look really good. Reminds me a lot of the E60 M5.

Just an observation, do you guys in the states get the GS250? I only ever see posts for the GS350...
