In other news my LS400 Calipers came Tuesday, have to clean them up and paint them. Took a while after recieving the wrong calipers from Aliga's connection, and an extra $40 out my pocket to ship them back to the junkyard on the other side of the country.

Pictures to come...

Why don't you like the rims - I think they look clean and classy?

It doesn't look horrible, thats how I purchased the car from the PO, just not my preffered taste. These are pretty easy to clean wheels though, so thats a perk, and they will look good under the LS400 calipers.

I tried to sell them, I'm not going to get much for them, and I don't have the money to go getting new wheels/tires and deal with it all right now. So I'm keeping them, they are only a year and a half old(the wheels). So I'll learn to live with them. I have to get spacers to use the LS400 calipers I bought as well.

That look is actually the look I wanted to switch over too, but it's getting kinda played out now, and I can't find any wheels that are black with the polished lip that are equal quality and that I liked.
