Looks fantastic - you obviously put a lot of work into it. Is that a BBK or painted caliper?

Also, where in MD are you?

Nice to see other pics of these tails.

But do you really have BBS Center caps on those wheels?

I was just about to say the same thing, BBS center caps on non BBS wheels? What wheels are those? NADS? MRR? HP?

I am about 99% sure they are mrr or nad's. Wheels look awesome. I like the way they look better than my volks, but they weigh a freaking ton. very nice wheel for the price though.

everything else is great....not a big fan of the decal on the head rest. Sometimes too much is awkward.

The Lexus logo on the headrests isn't for me, but the rest of it looks good.

The wheels are AZA Z-2s from wheelmax. I bought them for my GTO and never put them on. Funny thing is they fit on my IS . The center caps were very very ugly....I had to change them out

like the wheels, nice look w/ the lips & the right drop & offset.

what are the offset & width of your rims?...are the fronts & backs the same??

thanks!!..the front lip is 2 inch...rear is 3 1/2 inch. Front tires 235...rear 275. To be honest I cant remeber what the offset is. The 275 do rub a little if people ride in the back seat. The front wheels are 8 1/2...back are 9 1/2.
