Pics of aftermarket wheels w/no upgraded suspension
Alright guys, so I've been lowering cars my entire life, and with this 2018 IS F sport I got last year, I feel like I'm over the suspension upgrades and just want to slap on a better looking wheel on the car...
But, I'm not sure how that would look. So im asking for anyone with aftermarket wheels without suspension upgrades to post pics so I can see how they'll look.
I don't think wheels don't look as good without a drop. Maybe consider a moderate drop with some springs. I have rsr-down springs with ~1inch drop all around and think they are perfect and ride is close to stock.. just something to keep in mind as the wheel gaps don't do any type of wheel you may put on justice. Good luck!
I did the opposite and put on larger tires to fill the wheel well, and to reduce the risk of bottoming out on the potholes on the East Coast (255/45/18 rear & 225/50/18 front).The ride is much smoother, mpg is about 29 highway and 20 city. At 60mph on the speed gauge, it's actually doing about 63.5mph, which is the only change.
I realize this is not an aftermarket wheel, the point was only to suggest a larger tire iif filling the wheel well was one thought on your decision tree.

What was your MPG before? That seems pretty high, but power to ya!

No change. The only real change occurs when gas is switched from summer to winter, then I drop about 2MPG. Also, I drive like an old man in a hat--very slow, always on eco mode except for rare city driving when other drivers are bit to rash with their own driving.
I ordered the Lexus F sport wheels (4 fronts) to run in winter. I am considering buying 2 rears also while I decide if I want to keep, paint or powdercoat my oem wheels (they have the streaky ghosting from PO using some kind of whack wheel cleaner. The F sport wheels kind of remind me of the oem wheels I had on my C6 Corvette. Black Lexus center cap fits also.
