Those look really good. And you know me, I don't say that about many things here. LOL.
As far as what wheels, he said what they are in his post.
How much did you get them and what sizes?
oh and seriously man.. remove those plastic stickers on your door. they stick out like a sore thumb. I did that on day f-ing 1 when i brought my car home. door still looks perfect to this day. nothing kicks up on it.

Well its well deserved here. Those look great. I want a set for myself. Did you consider going 9.5 squared? or would they not fit? Are you using spacers? My ideal setup would be a square setup.

You can have someone in another state purchase and ship to you or check the 3rd gen IS classifieds for a used one. I believe E46CT has one for sale

Not saying this is how I did it, but you can go on eBay and there's plenty of resellers who buy it direct, then ship it to you. Shipping takes a little bit longer than a traditional online buy, but you'll get it.

I was thinking of doing a square setup since the 9.5 wide wheels have a more concaved look, but figured i'd keep it staggered instead. I am not running any spacers yet, but the front wheels can do with either 8-10mm for a flush fitment. Each wheel weighs around 17-18lbs.

i'd remove that plastic thing in your windshield (assume it's some sort of freeway pass thing) and paint it or wrap it in black vinyl. it sticks out like a sore thumb!

Has anyone tried this?

Had anyone tried this or know of anyone who tried this? It seems legit but I’m not certain

Looks promising, I also checked out a few videos on YouTube, none were Lexus though.

i noticed that too, only install videos were presented. The feedback is over 95% which is extremely good but I’m curious as to other opinions that may have tried this. Cause about 65hp seems almost too good to be true especially for $600

looks like it's just a piggy back. if so, i don't see that even performing as well as a burger tuning unit. all 20 hp at best. we see that even best case scenario actual tuning doesn't get those results on a stock car. even on a modded one for that matter. Try it out and report back

RaceChip was the 1st piggyback system i used and it was a decent product. The faster the processor the more responsive it is. I still felt as though the VRTuned was better than the Racechip and Burger Tuning (BMS) being the best. Looks like they have a newer version now, hopefully its better.
RaceChip Ultimate installed. I can definitely feel the extra power on both low and high end of the powerband. There are rotary dials to adjust the power output of the RaceChip as seen in the pictures. The stock settings S2=C is set at 20% power output and every click clockwise is an extra 1.5% increase low to high (8,A,B,C,D,E,F,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7). I gradually moved up the settings and I'm currently at S2=1 (27.5%) with no CEL and engine sputtering. Power feels a lot better than stock and I'll be monitoring fuel consumption as well.
