Can't go wrong with Volks. I've had a couple sets, great quality wheel.

If I'm not mistaken, they weigh around 21lbs. They'll clear the calipers with tons of room to spare. Also, you'll have no issues with TPMS since its a one piece rim.

I'm not sure what you meant regarding the brakes, but I had mine repainted to MRM with Brembo decals and clear coat over it. Hope I answered your questions.

Have you tracked with the caliper paint and Brembo decals? I'm curious how it holds up to severe abuse. My Lexus script is all gold now, so I'm thinking Brembo would look good on the calipers in a silver that won't oxidize like the Lexus paint did.

You did and thank you, I currently have wedsports 67R, and really like the looks of the Volks you have, but do not want to add any additional unsprung weight so I think these will work just fine.

The question about the brakes came from the label of photo you had in the first post. ".clublexus.com/gallery/data/4685/Front_Brakes_resized" but in thinking about it I believe it meant the photo was resized not the brakes. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm curious as well, hope someone reports back as to the durability of these high heat decals....

I got mine painted at Longo and I was told they would have to check with the rep from the paint supplier since it'll be painted on the brakes. The rep told them the clear coat they use can be used on calipers and it'll withstand the heat. I haven't tracked the car after the paint job was done, so I can't say if there's any truth to it or not.

Linkseal's old rims ^^^^^almost as nice as T-Rex06's 20's!

19" VR G2 +45
DW's 275/30/19 = 9.5
DW's 245/35/19 = 8.5


I just need to dial in the wheel gaps/ coilovers - in a few weeks as pot hole seasoning is coming to an end.
