Yea that's the beauty of iridium. My wife's nx looks gold-ish most of the time, but in the right light it looks silver.

looks great I should do that too than I prefer black or dark wheels like the IS350 fsport but those rims are the dark chrome finish which I didn’t like because they scratch so easy it’s sensitive.

LOL!! Did you test drive this or another IS 500? I didn’t test drive mine until after the business was done and I was released into the wild. Curious of your driving impressions if this will be your first time piloting one.

Picked him up at Eskridge Lexus in OKC yesterday! The guy who ordered the car test drove it on Wednesday, loved it, and said he needed to ‘think about it’ afterwards. Around this time, the sales rep’s info was posted by @zman21 . Saw it, called and left a message. Shannon called back, processed my deposit on Thursday, and I flew in on Friday.

1. He was saying goodbye to the guy who ordered the car at the time I called.

2. The guy called back on Friday to pull the trigger, but it was already sold….to me. 😎 He apparently didn’t have money put down, so I guess that made it free game? 🤷🏽‍♂️
