I'll post up some super blue pics once the ceramic is on too. I have Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light as a base coat, then their EXOv4 as a second coat with added gloss, and also some Beadmaker for a top coat and even more gloss

I have to wait for the snow to be gone before I pick it up, it arrives in a few weeks and will stay indoors at the dealer till then although they offered to have it shipped to my door...but wont be driven till april regardless

Seeing you all get yours is getting me all sorts of frustrated with how long it's been taking to get mine. It's been loaded up on the train coming from Portland since the 7th. Looks like maybe I get it sometime around the 4th.

The detailer I use is booked solid until second week of February. Now I'm anxious to drive it around until I get the PPF and ceramic on haha. I know I regretted not getting PPF on the car before the IS. Also planning on getting the Enkei's powder coated satin black in the next week.

Looking forward to seeing how the wheels turn out.

Please post pictures after you get them coated. The Enkei wheels are too busy. I doubt they'll look good in satin black.

I could call and order them from my dealer but it's about an hour away and I'd rather just order them from an online source if possible.

Also, what do I need to do to get my Lexus App to show vehicle startups and such that I've seeing other people talking about? I get notifications when the car doors are unlocked but I never get any notifications regarding startups or anything else. I've went through the notification settings and I don't see anything but I certainly could be missing something.
There are now different F Sport Badges:

If mine was sitting at a dock somewhere, I’d be super frustrated too. In this instance, Otis Redding’s song is not helpful.

I share your feeling on the Enkei wheels but then everyone says they look much better in person so I reserve judgement - If I don't like them, I may just fork out the extra 1500$ to buy a set of the 350 OEM wheels (our Canadian version of the finish) which I think are AMAZING

I'll admit I have hesitated a bit. That was my first thought too. They look busy, good word. They definitely look euro spec, but those options can look good black also I think.

Can anyone confirm what the stock offset is? I got 19 x 8.5 / 19 x 9.5, 5x114.3

Is anyone good in Photoshop and willing to color the stock wheels black?

The offset for the fronts is +45 and +60 for the rears.
