The last time I posted any pictures of my car, It looked like this

After riding on this set up for a few months, I decided to part out and go for the 2014 IS. Unfortunately, the deal fell through. Being stuck with my 08 2IS , I decided to make a few changes since I was going to continue to drive it for at least a few more years. First major mod was a 2011-2013 F Sport Front Bumper. And GFX Side Skirts

Next came 2011-2013 LED Tail Lights

Tanabe Medallion Axle Back Exhaust

And Finally, a New wheel Set Up.
Brand is Blonix Design (Formerly ISS Forged. The Original ISS Forged Owner has gone on to starting this new brand)
Wheel design is actually a prototype. As of now its 1 of 1. It is a Prototype of the FM10 wheel and #1 from his private collection.
Specs
19x9.5 +27 Front with 3.5 in step lip
19x10.5 +30 rear with 4.5 in step lip
Paint finish is a "light grey tinted clear"
I saw these wheels being made, and was amazed as to the quality and craftsmanship that goes into them.
Heres once they were cut and just freshly painted.

When I picked them up

A little humor before mounting tires and TPMS

Thanks man. It definitely did take money and tons of time. I've been working on this transformation for about 2 months.
