Haha, so I was overseas for awhile and I came back to find some goodies





YUM!


Oh, and can't forget about the hub rings, LOL


Waiting on a few few other things to put it all together

Stay tuned!

 

Very, very NICE!!!

 

Looks good. My Christmas gift has been in the shop for a month now hopefully it will be out by the end of the month.

 

rtv ftw!!!!!!! i can't wait to see this, adam!

 

What's the purpose of a hub ring...curious......spacer?

 

nice new toys

 

LOL! I can't wait to see it dude!
Most aftermarket wheels are 72.x hub bore sizes like bmw uses, but Lexus uses 60.1mm so these spacers will make it a perfect fit on the hub preventing abnormal vibrations and such. 6 bucks from eBay btw.



Thanks a lot guys! The toys are stacking up!

 

most of the time aftermarket wheels have larger hub opening than the factory hub size. if you mount the wheels that way, the wheels are not perfectly hub centered when you tighten the lug nuts. in turn you are relying on the lug nuts to help push the wheels back to the, which most of the time is not the case. that will create vibrations when the car is running because of the wheels not being centered.

with hub rings (you need matching ones), it fits nicely inside the wheels bigger hub, and the inside opening matches that of the hub, so the wheels are perfectly centered to the hub already when you put on the lug nuts

they are not spacers, they don't affect the overall offsets and fitment

 

need details on the brake rotors been waiting for the oems to get low but i cant wait no more the brake dust sucks... where you get those rotors??

 

Akebono ceramic pads, and Adam'sRotors Sport 1's over dimpled design with black hub. They are in the vendor section. I will give more thoughts on them once they are on the car. Everything is OEM size too.

 

Oh helll..bout to be on and poppin..meanwhile I am selling my Vossens..

 

Please let me know what you think of the brakes. I still dont know why the brake performance parts I got made a noise when braking. I want to use aftermarket brakes with the more durable rotors and pads and also have the added cosmetic effect but I want it to operate like the oem stuff. Super reliable and super quiet

 

what wheels are you looking at now??

 

Ahhh...............I got a perfect mental pic from your explanation.... so they fill that gap/ space between the aftermarket rims center and the axle/hub?

 

Henry, just look at your old pictures. lol One of the nicest OG LS460L!!!
