Default Show Your Dropped IS on Stock 18's!

As a forum/lexus newb, I have read that lowering the car comes first, then rims.

Well, I kind of like the stock 18's that are on my car (well, I'm picking it up tomorrow). So it got me thinking, does anyone just lower their car and leave the stock rims?

I'd love to see how it looks. (And yes, I've searched and came up with nothing).

Thanks guys!

My name is Jenn (As if the title didn’t give that one away ), and this is my daily driver (so the extent of mods I will do to it is very limited)- I have a 94 Integra as my “project” car and I try to limit the modding to that car (Notice the word TRY lol)
I work for Scion Corporate (TMS) out in Torrance, CA, but I drive a Lexus IS250 (I had 2 tCs prior to the Lexus and I figured it was time for the tC to grow up hehe)

I have Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs and some vinyl overlay here and there

Oh and I must say, the IS250/350 Photography thread is my all time favorite —I am looking into a Nikon D80 currently so I can take higher quality photos—For now, Photoshop is my best friend hehe
I look forward to posting in that thread once I get some decent shots! And I look forward to meeting members =]





I got a Preowned with 7 miles on it hehehe j/k j/k
More pictures.
