Those are the wheels I was planning to get before I found a deal on my Works

That first picture would have been a prize winner in the photography contest

wow...looks a lot better than i expected. i've never really been a fan of those wheels, but they really do look good on your car!

mind if i ask the specs on the wheels? width, offset?

BTW, you wouldn't happen to be in the socal area on the 11th, would you? I think there's going to be a meet that I will finally go to. I'd like to compare our suspension feeling. But then you're up in norcal, huh?

whats up man. thanks for the compliments. yeah couple of guys photo shopped them for me on my car before i got them, and they didnt look that good. but in real life, its aweseom. the drop is perfect. 8 inch on front, 9 inch in back. not sure of the offset.

i will be in los angeles from may20th to august 20th. so i will be happy to meet up sometime for coffee or whatever. i am in westwood a lot

sure anytime after may20th is perfect!

the ride is great, i cant even tell the difference from before and after (with the 16 inch wheels)

with the 18s, obviously with little sidewalls, i can feel the bumps more.

i have had lots of lowered cars before, and i think the lex is the only one that was almost identical ride before/after lowering
