Always love the sportx; I can't help but wonder how difficult it will be to keep those white rims clean...

Living in San Diego is a + for keeping those wheels clean!

Up here in the Northwest....those would be dirty every other day!

Can't wait to see your next set up Emerson!

Missing the LM's already? That's a bummer Em. But I know you've got some crazy **** planned for the future. I was thinking of doing a set of NT03+M's in 18x9.5+35/18x10.5+30 on stock fenders... But there's too much cost involved with it for me to do it at this point. I will be doing it in the future... But I'll stick with 18x9+30/18x10+33 RPF1's for now. Should be getting them in about a week

Bordem is the #1 cause of downgrading and screwing up. Don't get bored with your setup! The BBS looked awesome and this "change" is not one for the better. I am SOOO sorry to say that, because I really try to support everyone on their modding, but damn man this car was so hawt and put together well and now those wheels stand out like a sore thumb and just don't work with the car's flow. Apologies again.

Do it! The specs on my wheels are obviously the 18x10+38 and 18x9+35, I'm just using 5mm spacers all around since they're not where I want them to be spec wise. Any reason why you want to do the 8.5's up front? The face is somewhat convex rather than flat like the 10's.

If you buy some CCW's... You will be my hero.

BTW, what color would you recommend I powder coat mine? I wanted to do a dark matte bronze, but I'm debating just keeping them silver. Any colors that would look good with GGP? Not white lol

I love your car with the BBS LM's, but I understand your need for change, and I think your next setup with ccw's or something else, will really be something!

It's funny, when you really get in the car game, you start to become obessed with wheels, and in the Lexus world it is so easy, because the bolt pattern and fitment on most of the cars is the same, and also shared with many toyotas, infintis, nissans etc.. , and before you know it, you become a wheel collector... really it is akin to asking a women, why so do you have so many shoes?
