Default New Wheels & Emblems Photo's (Ugly Snow Day)(Five Axis Content)

Thanks a bunch to those that helped w/ all my questions. Here's my set up (Just got the wheels installed today, hence the nasty snow pictures in NJ)

Went with Five Axis S5:F wheels.

Looks great! The photoshop was spot-on. Any plans to lower it further?

A special thanks to Troy at Five Axis as well for helping me out... went out of his way to get me photo's of the Matte Silver wheels layed up next to the Tungsten Pearl...

Thanks Troy!

As far as the drop, I went the 'safe' rout and went with F-Sport springs for fear of any warranty work coming up in the future and Lexus not covering it. Its a modest drop, but good enough. Let me know what you guys think. Its a pretty 'dark' look for the Tungsten Pearl... I had aggressivness in mind and hopefully achieved it...
