Default So I got myself some new shoes...

So yeah, like the title suggests I just got myself some new IS350 rims, and I couldn't be much happier...thanks again to extreme437 for a great set of wheels....also with the new wheels I decided to get a brake upgraded (ls400 fronts) and some tint (20%)...but yeah here are the pics.










good pic of the brakes -




and yeah I know I need to drop this about an inch - inch and a half...just waiting on the 1000ish I need for a new set of stance coilovers

Looks nice. Never been a fan of these wheels but they look alright on your car.

Pleasure doing business with you Kinnon. The wheels look great on your car. Take care of them and try not to curb em!

how much did you pay for the wheels?

you need some mad spacers though. the offset on those wheels are weak. you need to drop it more then an inch of 1.5". i would tuck these like a ****. with the stances you can have your car almost scraping rails. im saving up for my stances as well?

did you end up talking to the guys at Touge Factory about stance or are you going to try to find them local to you?

OK . I am a rookie at this wheel game. Why does this car need spacers and what do they do? Thanks...

Spacers go in between the hub and the wheel to move them out(away from the center of the car). Basically it will move the wheel out towards the fenders making it more flush with the edge.
