Unfortunately I am stationed in San Angelo. Have you even heard of it?Alot of people haven't lol. It's West Texas about an hr or so south of Abilene. I wish I was in the Austin area. If I ever head out to that side of Texas I'll let you know boss.

I did research after I got my F and I got pissed that Lexus changed the wheel and it looked alot better than the 08. I can't lie I love this wheel so far, the look of the White CF and the flat bottom part giving it a "sportier" look to the interior. I say go for one! That is one thing I do miss that this wheel doesn't have is the little F badge on the bottom of the wheel.

If I was really a baller I would get the wheel below. By far the sickest wheel I've ever seen.

. Thx boss. I want some deeper blue headlights...but these will do I guess.

Also, I got some lighted blue door sills sitting waiting to be installed. I have found a couple of threads about installing these so I will see if I can see which thread makes it seem the easiest to help me out on the install these sometime when I get some time.

Nate; Loving ur car so much I´m considering getting CV3s as well (even though they cost a whole lot more here in Sweden...)

Really bad knowledge about wheels so help me out here You are having 235/30 and 275/30 respectively right? What about offset? Finally, please confirm that you don´t need to do anything else, just bolt them on? They look so good on your car, and I totally agree, no lowering needed!

I disagree - all of these photos are very artistic. I'm lovin' the various backgrounds.

Yes I currently have 235/30 and 275/30. Offsets are +38 fronts and +45 rears. To bolt them on you need nothing as far as spacers or hub rungs. I am going to run a 245/30 front and 285/30 rear once these tires wear out and I get the rear fenders rolled. A 285 will rub if your fenders are not rolled. My 275's rub only a little now on dips or passengers in the backseat. No fender mod needed to run a 245/30 on the fronts though.

Hopefully I answered your questions.

Thank you very much, I appreciate it. The wife and I were just driving around to find some "different" locations for pictures in our little rinky-dunk town and I am surprised the pictures came out as good as they did lol.

Thanks! Awesome that you just got some Vossen's! Did you go matte graphite as well? You figured out what tires sizes you are going to go with? I need my fenders rolled BAD.

I want to get a nice stance but I really want a cup kit/bags(alot of money though). Until I make up my mind if I want to try and save for cup kit/bags or go with KW coilovers, I will be stock height for a long time lol.

I am loving the rear diffuser on that new Arkym kit or I will go with Ventross rear. I like the Toms or Lexon for the front lip. We'll see when i can get those pieces, I have been spending alot of money on the F lately and the wife is none too happy about it lol.

Yes I am getting Matte Graphite. It flows with the color better IMO. I was thinking of getting what was recommended. 245/30/20 in the front and 285/25/20 for the rear. What brand tires did you go with? How bad are your tires and fender right now? I think you should just go Arkym front and rear because its new and not many people have it. lol that is what my wife keeps on telling me...LOL
