Hey Mark, congrats on your ride! Now I need a GS and an SC to catch up to you and Henry. 
Doh on the pothole! That's why i'm reluctant to move the wheels from my Solara to my IS...on the account of the miles I drive everyday...I don't want to take that risk of damage on our not so great freeways.
Dang, how many do we have in the Elizabeth @ Longo Purchase Club now?

Hey Mark,
I got your PM, really sorry about this. FWIW, when I drove a Honda, I once caught a flat on the highway and had to change it. I broke one of the studs (4lug car), and I was over 80-100 miles away from my dorm. I made it home just fine, just ensure you apply the lugs in a cross fashion, and drive with "sense".
good luck

Anyways, got my Tein CS put on (thanks to Sander and Victor at TWS) and wife wants those wheels so I put it on when we returned. When I was putting on the last wheels and tighten the lug, one of the loader break!!!!! I was shock! I was not even use much force. Then I went to dinner at Rowland Height and when I exist the 99 Ranch market at Azusa, there was a huge pot hole covered with water and a huge impact on my front left kit of my GS. The damage was pretty bad, it rip over my Xpel film and bend my quarter panel just like last time!! Sigh~~~
Anyways, the wheels are no longer for sale because they look so NICE on the car!!!
Do you guys think if I can drive the car safely to the dealership (the SC) to have the loader replace? Cars only has less than 100 miles, do you think dealer will cover this under warranty? Liz, if you are reading this, give me your input.

Ryan, I do want an IS for a long time! But I think I am aiming for LS430 in few years and then I can downgrade my GS to a beater. Damn, time to trade in my 04' Sienna for GX...
