Default Mooncakes On! (Been wanting to say that...)

Well feels like I waited forever to get these on. Considering I had the Wheels sitting in my basement 2 months before I received my car. Got the tires mounted last week and finally had a chance to go shoot my car with them on.

Looks great on F's. I was worried my drop wouldn't be aggressive enough when I get 19's.

OMG! They look so much better than your stock wheels (you had the 16" Canadian Lexus stocks right?). Looks great!

Very nice Vip style wheels....I like how they curve into the center like a dish must look sweet while driving.

I like the drop and the wheels. I might get F-springs/shocks as well. Good setup!

Just the F-Sport springs. I was surprised how well they drooped the car. About 1 finger in the rear and 1.5-2 fingers in the front. Rides almost like stock.

These pictures to the wheels no justice. The rears cave in soo much. When there in motion the they look like salad bowls. I'll try to know off some rolling shots sometime soon.
