corradoMR2 Thanks I got the lower door chrome moulding on ebay. It shows up as 2015 Lexus NX200t Polished ABS side Body Luxury moulding trim $89.99 very easy to install.
The engraved body side moulding with the chrome insert came from sportwing.com
$159.99
^^^@ronslexus - pricing is pretty cheap. Thanks for the info! ^^^@theNXlevel - congrats and welcome to the forum. Great to see your custom wheels and the custom Lexus center cap.
Darth NX was accompanied by Blue Lightning today to get some new shoes on.
On our way to Tires23!
Tires could have squeezed in Darth NX alongside the wheels, but Blue Lightning wanted to come for the ride!
Getting the Vossens out... VFS1 - 22 x 9 +38
BTW, check out that gorgeous red 458 Italia !!!
Don't know why front 1/4 shots of the NX always make the nose look longer than what it is. Need better camera...
22 inch wheels? Big yes, but in this pic, they don't look as large as in person.
265/35/22 Nexen Roadian HP rubber... Good bang for the buck.
Tires23 best tireshop in west GTA. Oh, and this angle of the NX is my favorite side/rear 3/4 view.
How is the ride with the 22" rims?
I went with the 20" and the ride is great. I was afraid the ride with the 22" might be too stiff.
Did Canada get the NX earlier than we did in the US?
Thanks for welcoming me to the forum!
I had 20" Yokohama Parada Spec X for over 6 months on Braelin BR-02 (Ace Convex) wheels and ride was virtually as good as the OEM ones. See my build thread below or the aftermarket wheels thread for more info.
The 22s are incrementally stiffer but still decent in ride. Note my NX has AVS which somewhat compensates for stiffer tires so I wonder if the standard damping suspension would result in a stiffer ride. What is not as good is tire noise is louder with the Nexen Roadian HP tires vs the super smooth and quiet Yokos but they're also twice the price.
Canada got NX's about 10 days after the late November release in the US.
corradoMR2 ...looks fantastic ! Where did you get the chrome for the lower side ?
He actually custom made them himself (check out his build thread in his signature section) using 3M chrome molding. I've seen a lot of generic ones sold on ebay from China, however the fitment is more like the RX style.
