Default My IS350 on 20in VOLKS

I haven't had the car for a week yet and i have already begun modding
Here are some pics of my IS350 on 20 inch VOLK GT-7s w/ 13% tint

Fronts are 20x8.5 +44 w/ 245/30/20 tires
Rears are 20x9.5 +37 w/ 275/30/20 tires

Now i just need a big brake kit and some coilovers to lower it.

I find it funny that people drop $2K+ on wheels, and show them on a $50 digicam.

I think it looks real good. Kinda steep in price. It needs a drop so bad.

Nice choice , looks like it'll have to be dropped a little more in the front than in the rear.

The rear looks good but the front is not right. What do those weigh?

whats wrong with paying $4500? as far as I could tell i wasn't being ripped off. i only paid about 2800 for the wheels with center caps. The tires with the hazard insurance were around 12-1300 so with tax 4500 wasnt too bad.

Well I didn't say you got ripped off, but if I had to spend $4500, I would have chosen a different one but hey, they're your wheels and most important is that you like them.

Just for comparison, I paid $3200 OTD for my Volk's and Toyo tires but mines only 19".
