Default Another Batmobile




The 255 / 40 - 19 tires front and rear were too big so I switched them to Conti Extreme Contact DWS 06 PLUS all weathers that are 245 / 35-19 front and 255 / 40 - 19 rear. I think it looks better and it's 3/4 of an inch lower which makes it look like a slithering reptile.

CA actually. UT dealer bought it, had it for a month, sold to me.
19" Tires make it look like a off-roads vehicle.
Now in shop getting all control arms, etc, and MeisterR ZetaCRD.
Alignment is next.

Sorry black wheels do nothing for me. The car itself looks great.

Yes, I completely agree. Especially on a black car. At least that has always been my opinion.
I once saw a medium grey 911 with black wheels that looked good, but that's it, ever.

I've thought about it and have come to the conclusion that it's the lack of differentiation between the black tire
and the black rim. It just looks like a black mess down there. And is especially too much with a black car.

But on my car I like it quite a bit, in fact that's why I bought it. I believe it is because of the gold bling rivets
which create the differentiation. Without them it would be bad, in a bad way. So, surprisingly I think it looks good.
It definitely gets rid of the girl car look.

What I think would be a disaster is blacked out headlights and taillights, and also any tint whatsoever.
I have debadged the gold on the rear end, which I thought was too much. Just the center gold Lexus logo is
more than enough.

If the lip on the black wheel is polished then it looks much better.
