For some reason that car seems like it was built for Cally, FL or maybe somewhere in the East Coast. HI even but Idaho land of the patatoes? I love it man, great way to put together a GS. Much congrats.. Idaho.LOL I just get a kick out of that.

well, honestly, i don't lie. most people close to me KNOW that was one main reason. i didn't see myself shelling out another 6k for hre wheels for the sc430, and the decision was made that we NEED to have same brand wheels for both the gs400 and sc430. so the decision was clear -- get something else cheaper (without jeopardizing any quality of finish) and jdm was clear path for us

yup, i am cheap

i think soon enough we can have a thread showing trafficstars stuff

lol, not even close. a lot of good jdm wheels like trafficstars, volks, works, amistad, weds, etc... they are all much cheaper than hre. for example, the price it almost broke even with my new trafficstar with new tires

Sorry for the lag time. I was in Utah yesterday for what turned out to be a Club Lexus gs only mini meet. Met a couple cool guys and a couple really nice gs's.

Anyways, rim specs are 2" front lip and 3.5" rear lip nothing real extreme. When I look at them it always seems more than that, but a ruler doesn't lie. My rear tires are 275/30/20 Nitto NT555.
Once again thanks for all the positive feedback.

Thanks. Right now I am just on Sprint springs. I went minimalist because my next mod will be air runner, so money spent on coilovers would have been a waste for me.
