So I finally got hired for work and that means picking up an FRS within next week or so...

For my plans I Photo-shopped exactly how i want my car to look, tell me what you think.

Do it!!! btw what wheels are those?

RehabJeff86 · 05-19-2013, 09:56 PM

dont go more than 18" please

Burrcold · 05-19-2013, 10:02 PM

Wheels are too big, and chrome weather striping? Meh. To each their own though.

Kelbyat07 · 05-19-2013, 10:04 PM

Maybe light tints on the side windows? Other than that, looks nice.

I thought that 19' would be too big also, but after Touge Factory put them on, its not that bad.

Going bigger than 18's really just weigh down the car. I mean, the car doesn't have that much power in the first place, so why add more weight to have less power? Plus, Vossen wheels aren't a lightweight wheel. If you like it, go for it. Just not my style.

To be honest I want to do this so Vossen will have a photoshoot with my car. The second I achieve that, its gonna be performance parts only.

Don't get me wrong, I love the wheels. I have a friend that had those same wheels on his 2008 Lexus IS350 before he sold the car, it was beautiful. But he did have almost 400WHP.

Bigger overall diameter of the wheel+tire changes the gear ratio as well. Just beware of the performance loss.

potholes are licking their chops.
