The drop is very mild, would like it if it was a tad lower. But the car feels great!
less body roll, stiff steering, however the rides a bit more rough. But THIS is how the car should feel like coming off the lot.
I like it very much overrall, and it's OEM, so warranties are intacted.
This mod costed me ~1k though lol.

Today, I did the install with my buddies at the Lexus dealer, the fitment and looks of the wheel is awesome.
We wrapped these wheels with the Hankook v12 evo2 in 235/35/19.
However, we came across an issue with the wheel locks. The wheel lock socket was too large in diameter, and does not fit properly into the wheel holes; looks like the wheel would require a narrower wheel lock kit. Please see pictures.
The socket will scratch, or get stuck into the wheel hole if we tried to install this wheel lock.
Anyone got recommendations for aftermarket wheel locks? (I purchased the wheels/lugs/lock from N4SM)

Have a look at some Kics lug nuts: http://www.mackin-ind.com/project-kics-lug-nuts/
Kinda just wanna dish the money out for just the wheel lock pieces.
I like these Work ones... but again, they are sold as set.

You could try Gorilla or McGard if you just want the locks.

Did some research, looks like I need the "turner" style locks. The keys look narrower/small in diameter to fit into the small lug hole.
Reviews were meh.. for both. My tech friends advise against gorilla, as they have previous experience taking them off.
McGard 25257 Chrome Tuner Style Cone Seat Wheel Locks (M12 x 1.5 Thread Size) - Set of 4
Gorilla Automotive 21631SD Small Diameter Wheel Locks (12mm x 1.50 Thread Size)

Also came across these,
Muteki 41886C Chrome 12mm x 1.5mm Closed End Spline Drive Lug Nut Set with Key, (Set of 20)
They aren't exactly wheel locks, but they do require a key. Kinda feels like a 2 in 1.
