Having some problems with the tire shop but heres a preview of the wheel before it goes on to my car. And heres a pic of my car ;p

After five years I am finally replacing my stock wheels with new ones. Yippee! Today I am having 18x7.5 Falken Hanabi's (bronze) and 235/40 Falken ZE912 wheels put on. I will post pics up soon :)

I am thinking about getting the eibach pro kit from tirerack.com that comes with springs and F/R sway bars. I was wondering what peoples opinions are about Eibachs springs and sway bars before I decide to purchase them for my 2003 IS300.

Ya I like the Falkens the best out of the 3. I think its the directionaly twist that was the icing on the the cake for me, it made them more unique. As far as tire rack goes, they have nothing I like on their :(

Wow Work wheels are expensive -.0 Lol I am just getting new wheels to replace my bent stock ones not planning to go bankrupt in the process ;p Also I wanted wheels noticeably lighter than the stock 26lb sport design wheels. Realizing how lighter wheels tend to cost alot more, it was really hard for me to find lightweight wheels at low enough prices that still looked good to me.

Hey guys im in the process of getting new wheels for my 03' Black onyx IS300. I have narrowed my selection down to 3 wheels. Which one do you guys like the best? Your opinions are much appreciated. I have photoshops of the enkei evo5 and falken hanabi's, but not the ace radiums. I will be getting them in 18 inches. Ace Radium 22.5 lbs Enkei Evo 5 20lbs http://www.1010tires.com/images/wheels/sup...vr_lg_super.jpg Falken Hanabis 19lbs http://www.1010tires.com/images/wheels/sup...nz_lg_super.jpg

Well after putting much thought into it. I decided to go with a totally different wheel concept. I really like these Tenzo DC-5s in the bronze or black variation. Which color you guys think will look better on a black is300

Haha. I sure will and thanks for replying to my post.

+45mm offset and 6" backpsacing. I thought the 7.5 meant how wide the wheels are? :( sorry I am new to the world of aftermarket wheels. Here is a link. Visit My Website

Hey guys, I was going to be purchasing motegi sx5 18x7.5 wheels for my 2003black is300. here is a pic of the wheels. I am wondering whats the largest tire size I can put on my car w/o having any rubbing problems. I am currently thinking about doing 235/40/18 all the way around. After I intall my new tire and wheel package on my car I am going to drop my car about 1 to 1.5 inches. So I wanted to take that into consideration as well. Any advice would be great.

Hey, I wanted to start a topic on how many dings you guys have on your cars due to damages incurred by disrespectful, mindless people. These are probably the most frustrating things that can happen to your car, especially when you care alot about it and the fact that it costs rediculous amounts of money to fix dem. :cries: I have a total of 11 dings. :chairshot:

Hey guys before I get to the main point, here is a little background on my car. My car is a lease and ever since I have gotten this car I have taken it to the lexus dealership for its periodic maintenance's. As you all know it is very expensive. Since my car was leased for four years I did not know what I was gonna do witht the car when my lease matured so I always took it to the lexus dealership for maintenance just in case If I ever planned to give the car back to them and I didnt want my lease to be void if I took it to a "Nonlexus" place and they screwed up my car. WEll it turns out after four years since I am so happy with my car and its in perfect condiditon, I will be keeping it for myself. Since my car is no longer leashed to my lexus dealership, this brings up the problem of should I still go to lexus for my 30,000 mile maintenance which will be very very expensive or should I take it to "nonlexus" place with a very good reputation where it will be much less? (right?) Orrrrr, should I do it myself? Now you guys should know I am a novice when it comes to car maintenance since I have always taken my car to the dealership for maintenance. Here is the list from the lexus manual of what is covered under the 30,000 maintenance. -replace air filter I know I can do this -replace brake fluid I know where the container is but how do I remove the old brake fluid? -replace engine coolant I know where this is too, but how do I remove old engine coolant? -replace engine oil and filter I know how to replace the filter, but how to remove old engine oil? -retorque drive shaft flange boots Obviously I cant do this, I mean I have a torque wrench for my wheels, but I am assuming its not the same thing...I would have to get this done at a place -rotate tires Dont have to do this b/c I had new tires installed and its only been like 1000 miles on them. -road test vehicle ...this is irrelevant I road test whenever I drive my car... -inspect the following: __ball joints and dust covers seems unnecessary right? I dont notice anything unusual __body I can do this.. I am not blind... __brake lines and hoses can not do this, unnecesasary? get done at a place? __bake linings/drums and brake pads/discs not necessary, not time to change brakes, no noises. __differential oil in the manual is says only replace if car is used for towing a trailer or as a camper, which its not.. __drive shaft boots can not do this, get done at a place? __exhaust pipes and mountings unncessary, im not blind.. __fuel line, connections, bands, vaper vent sys. hoses can not do, unnecessary?, get done at a place? __fuel tank cap gasket not blind... __rack and pinion assembly unnecessary? ge tdone at place? __steering linkage and boots nnncessary? get done at place? __transmission fluid get done at place? or does it need inspecting, no engine problems, IF I can check it myself how would I go about doing that and what do I look for if it needs replacing. -inspect nuts and bolts on chassis and body unnecessary. What do you guys think should I do? Should I #1 just go to lexus dealership and get it done, or #2 take it to a "nonLexus" place to get it done, or #3 do all the things that I can do and ignore all the unnecessaries and anything that is important that I can not do myself get it done at a place, b/c I enjoy getting my hands dirty and doing stuff myself. Your opinions would be much appreciated!

Actually 600/mo from progressive was pretty accurate. My is300 is under my moms name under allstate its the same price. So the fact that you are only 21 and you are getting a quote for 600/mo , you are very lucky.

I have no idea what you are talkinga bout lmao. But if know one will respond here try www.lextasy.com and try posting your question there. Hopefully they might be more helpful.
