Isn't is funny how all the MKIII owners turn to the IS? I had 4 of them myself, but I didn't have very good luck with them sadly...

Lucky! I think we are going to get another one to have as our toy/project car. Maybe it will keep me from being so rough on the Lex.

Those wheels would look great on a donk, not on a Lexus.

Volk makes a lot of different types of wheels. I can't see how you could dislike them all. Volk GT-U's, BBS LM's, iForged Formula's or HRE 540R's would all have been good choices.

All I'm saying to you is that you have to pay to play, and if you can't build it right, don't build at all. You bought a luxury-sport car, and it deserves better.
