The technique we used on this car was the same technique I invented and use on my car.

I've never seen a good fender rolling job on a Lexus. They just have too many layers of metal. Cutting is the way to go.

Yep - I had mine cut with an air saw since I couldn't get a shop to roll them. The Lexkost garage is where good things happen
Mike if I lived closer I would drop mine buy

Here's mine and they are completely flat inside and no distortion outside.

Shouldnt the tire be out more than the rim a little at least?? I can imagine this being a problem at the car wash, rims scratching at the rail?

No, it's a performance/styling modification. We dont go to the automated car washes. We wash the car by hand.
