So I took the day off to make sure they were OK so here they are.

I cant put them on just yet, the weather is crappy and I am dealing with some emotional crap do to a death in the family ( good old grandma ) so no hard a$$ing about pics after fitment...OK?:)

Surprisingly I like the look of the tires but I am still unsure of the quality of them.

They came with some nice lugs also. I really suggest that people that are having trouble with lugs stripping and what not to actually get the spline drive type lugs.

Nice, sorry bout the granpa. But post some pictures on the car.

nice look JW, my condolences 2 the family.

Sorry to hear about your loss, but those are some good-looking wheels.

I have the Nexen 3000 and I like them. They may not be the best rated tire on the market but have had them for one year now and no problems. HyelifeLS used to have the Nexens also, maybe he still has them.

I've got red XXX's, i'd like to see them...

Try to refresh or right click on it and click show picture. Its working for me.


Are you at work? It might have them restricted. I used myspace for storage.

Good lookin wheels. Whered you get the package from?

Sorry about the loss too!

Teaser shot anyone?

I got bored having off cause the hand situation and all.


I call it; That wet look!


Honestly, I felt I just needed a avatar pic...lol!

unfair! this is like one of those pictures where you cant tell whether it's a man's ass cheeks or cleavage. Zoom out !!!!

I vote to ban you from here unless you post pics ASAP.

Its just a crappy pic and all. I was taking out the trash and since we were talking about pictures with power2killayaks ( or who evers thread ) I decided to take my camera out and snag a quick one. I got pretty wet and gave up with the first shot but I promise I will get some nice ones up when the weather gets nice. I wanna find a really nice back drop!

I mean I didnt even take the time to straighten out the center cap! lol!

I vote to ban you from here unless you post pics ASAP.

Thats not fair, Im saying man even my discs are rusty.:lol:

I like them. Good choice. Can't wait to see pictures.

That picture's pretty good, though I was half-way expecting to see blood after reading the other thread... :D

Thanks Rollin. I was looking for something with more spokes and a tighter mesh and to be honest I am not that fond of the big lip thing any more that much but I think they turned out nice. Once I pull some pics of the entire car you'll see what I mean by the rear being a bit funny till I lower the car. I may also do a step up in sidewall size for the rear.

No broken skin Sooner. Thank god for that. I can death with busted bones but I hate stitches!:D

I have been trying to get a shot that could show the slight amount of bruising thats left, and swelling, but I just cant get it:mad: .

My wife went through the camera this morning cause she wanted to take some pictures but the card was full. She was looking for pics to delete so she noticed all the ones of my hand and has really begun to think this forum drove me insane.:lol:

Bit they would look cool painted to match the car. Leave the lip thou.

I wonder if they come in 19"? Bit they would look cool paint to match the car. Leave the lip thou.

;) ;) ;)

They are Hyper Silver and actually in person they match the car ( silver metallic frost ) very, very well.

The wheels look awesome. I didn't think I'd really care for that particular style on the LS, but seeing them on... damn! More pics please :D

Also, where did you get these from/price? (If you don't mind me asking)

Thanks pektel. Like I keep saying its raining out allot the last few days and its supposed to keep up. Right now its dry but a hanging overcast and I want to really wash it up good before I get some shots.

I knew it was going to rain so I added about 4 coats of Zymol wax to the wheels. Went out last night to the mall to take the wife shopping and well the zymol job worked pretty well. Dirt was just running off with the water drops and this morning the wheels look pretty damn clean still:D

Im sending you a PM right now.

Still waitin on this rain...:( :shifty: :D

jerk :D

I think its starting to look more like cleavage:D

They look good, maybe better with some actual pictures!

I browsed the thread and saw nothing, what are the specs?

19x8.5 +38 wrapped in 235/35/19 Nexen 3000. Tires are a bit on the cheap side but its what the deal came with and I am slapping on some Toyos or maybe something similar in the spring. I dont drive this much anymore since I got a Highlander thats great on gas!

Looks pretty nice man, but that doesn't mean that I am not gonna ban you! Post some more pictures, stat!

Looks like you need some lowering to do, but overall looks clean.

From another thread, it sounds like he's getting some eibach's (good choice btw, jwerner)

Any rubbing with the 38 offset + 8.5" wide? Or does the 235 eliminate that?

Come on, EliotNessLS, post them pics!

Come on, EliotNessLS, post them pics!

lmao, i was gonna say the same thing

thats it.. we're coming over. Party at Werner's house.

Wow you guys are like sharks:lol: . No need for name calling:p

OK yesterday and today its been nice out so I got a few pics. Today I am going to do a good wash and start a project. I will explain at the bottom.

http://a784.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/16/l_9b777803ee6cadd9237643508e243c67.jpg

http://a969.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/62/l_42c2bae60966045cdf3349648c542c58.jpg

OK first I am happy with the wheels 100% but as I thought they are to sporty for a big car at factory height so I am dropping it and maybe getting 235/45's. Now what I need to do is some testing in heights to see what I can pull off. I will be going out today after work and getting spring clamps to see how low I can go and how things would look and tomorrow I will be purchasing my springs. I also am going to match my bezels.

I am not leaving the clamps on! I am just using them for measurements.

Now my next batch of pics aren't going to be for a bit but they will be nice. I really like quality pictures so when I am finished I'm going to glaze the car up nice and find a good spot for some shots.



As far as parties go, lets do it!

those look great!! I smell rubbing once you lower it. Be careful.

Those wheels look beautiful on your LS! Exactly the look I love on these cars!

Mark

Thanks guys. I do plan on rolling the fenders up.


I'm a bit old school so I will always recommend rolling fenders when doing a drop job. But if you would see it in person you would see it just might not rub.

Another thing is I'm not hard on cars at all. If I go low its for looks and I am willing to sacrifice any performance and high speeds. I just cruise with this thing, now the Highlander believe it or not I fly with that thing. I love it, good on gas, has a tough sound to it and its pretty fast. Great on mild off road.

Looks awesome!

You painted the turn signal chrome bezel area black? I've only seen one other person do that. more pics?

Jwerner looking siiiiiiick!! Im really diggin the look of those wheels I want some of those but 20's chrome or black w/ polished lip.

U still going to do your car VIP style ?

Nope. I'm getting a dealership performance tune to match the wheels I put on as well as the exhaust I will be getting and the K&N air filter definitely needs a tune for it as well;) :rolleyes: . Then I am adding bicycle mirrors and a front mount air filter ( please sense the sarcasm )

Pektel it is a primer. I am painting the bezels color match and tossed it back together for a picture for you guys. I thought that it would be more uniform and more even if I primed it black before I used grey primer over the turn signal and bezel. I am trying to think up a amber reflector to put in like the 03+ or a translucent orange I have seen that will make it look like chrome amber but I hate that chrome in a spray can stuff.


Right now it is to dim for driving at all the way it is even during the day.

yes paint your bezel so it looks like mine, go to an auto parts store and pick up so temp resistant spray paint. mine matches absolutely perfect.
