new wheels on the lexus today - nathjh - 30-04-2019
I like the rims, but strangely I'm not sure about the rubber. I think I would prefer a bigger profile for some reason.....
or maybe for it to actually be scraping on the floor lol!

going to run them out at put 245 on the back next year with 9.5j rims, the hankook k107's are great in my book. have put goodyear f1 asymmetric 2 on the corolla verso with 225/40/18 and they are very good aswell, also have a set of 225/30/20 nankang that i had on for 3 days and did not like them, just sitting at work

I like the rims a lot, like a few others have said bigger brake discs would compliment them a lot more, its nice to see a Is200 with 20's, I think they deserved 20's as standard!

your a mad man but i like your way of thinking, every body else should have 15" steel wheels just so the is stands out

Yep I am a mad man, I think thats what most people think of me so far, but mad is growing on me now lol. well if everyone else drove old clios then we'd all be fine

In 98/99 when it was designed/released, that would have been unthinkable! New cars nowadays do come with much larger alloys than they used to. (Though it's still a bit silly!)

I'm about to get another Lexus, but don't tell my other one, as I think it's kinder she doesn't know. Actually, for the time being, don't tell my girlfriend either, as I told her I couldn't afford another holiday, and the first she'll know of the new Lexus is when I pull up in it!
Very nice rims there mate, but the rubber does look too small somehow! As well as the obvious, and already discussed, it makes the brakes look a little like babies!

Ahh Stoney i just realised ur from exeter, i was there a couple days ago! And if I had to choose between a car and a holiday, car is coming first with no second thoughts mate, but thats me I guess. Think Jay getting some bigger tyres for them.
Ive seen big brake conversions online but they are nearly £2000 if you want the 15inch set!
