Default 360 Forged Mesh 8 Wheels - Installed! (Photo's)

ClubLexus Debut of 360 Forged Mesh 8 Wheels on an IS350!
Thanks to all who helped me out customizing these and to Janoy @ ISS for hooking me up and such great service!

Best I can do with a point n' shoot digital camera.

Let me know what you guys think... Comments are appreciated, thanks!

An excellent look. I assume the fasteners are hidden?

Let us know your final wheel/tire specs when you get a chance. (offsets/widths/tires brand/sizes).

Yeah, I decided to go fully blind bolt. The clean look grew on me!

Specs:

Front - 19x8.5 + 22 (225/35/19)
Rear - 19x9.5 + 22 (245/35/19)

Looks like what you just had

Just messing wit ya, I prefer these over your Volks gotta be cause of the lip size difference and cleaner spoke design.

Why did you go with a rear tire thats smaller than OEM??? I understanding stretching, but your not even super slammed.

LOL... yeah most would think I'm crazy for going from a mesh to a mesh, but IMO there's a huge difference between the two (just as you said, cleaner ect..)

I went 245 becuase it a slight stretch... not so much because of my ride height, but more of my flushness 19x9.5 +22 has a bit of a poke (I'm actually SLIGHLY hella flush if you will, as my rim sit out side past my fender)... I even rub from time to time with people in the back seat. Its more due to my offsets then my ride height.

Thanks man!

I think I truly like the GFX kit the most honestly! lol... I try and try to get myself into the Vertek kit but I don't did how it looks w/ Mesh wheels. I think it works PERFECT w/ your Works tho!!!!! Good theme you have there

Then I tried to get myself into the Ings+1 kit, but don't think the bludge look goes well with mesh wheels. I think the Ings+1 looks PERFECT w/ Volks TE37's tho if you get where I'm coming from... but its just not in sync w/ the 'look' I'm going for.

So as much as I try to get into the lower lip kits, I always come back to the good ol' GFX kit I have and think it works well with my overall 'look'.
