Having sat in cars with/without a sunroof, you also get tons more helmet room.

Hey Cody,

don't quote me coz' i am playing this from memory from like 2-3 yrs ago. i think 19" te37 is like 20lb each (of course depends on width). they are pretty darn light.

the hre competition series is heavier, mainly coz' it's still 3 piece design. how much more maybe bob has more insight

Nice graduation present... good choice on the interior color. Even though you have two ISF's, at a Hawaiian dealership of all places, that have white/black interior, you're waiting the 3 months to get black? I'd have done the same.

rominl is correct! the comp series is a tad heavier than the volk te37. from what i know...comp series hre is like low 20s...my friend had these in brushed aluminum on his SG e46 m3

i already had that high polished feel with the GS (I LOVED it!) but for the is-f I wanted a more concave race feel. thus leaning towards gunmetal or even flat black te37 ONCE my tire are all worn...whatever the case...I am gonna wait like a 3/4-1 year or so...doesnt make sense to waste BRAND NEW tires hehe

well the wait is finally over. thanks to my mom/grandma for the generous college grad gift. as far as the GS goes...we still have it but it is parted out...also to my friends thank you for the support. thanks to Sandy at Servco Lexus as well for the great service.



the GS was a pretty cool car for me...but this new IS-F...damn it is simply ANOTHER EXPERIENCE!

i will get out and take better pics soon...





as far as the seats go...still deciding on them...the seats in the IS-F is pretty damn good already. well see tho...as far as the lugs go...i think they should match a volk TE37 or RE30 in the future

pics are taken with Canon 1D Mark III; 24-105 4L.

anyway I hope you like them.
