Hey, first post.
I just bought 18" XXR 502's in Chromium Black for my 2011. I'll post pix in the spring.
I can't see myself lowering the suspension though. Montreal.... absolute worst roads on the planet.

I love those rims, I have some on my SC400

About the only thing I dont like about them is that sometimes they look smaller than they actually are (18's with a +35 all around). I get compliments about them all the time. Get some pics up when you can, I almost bought some for my RS5. I guess I can always swap rims between the Lex and the box

Look into the Tanabe NF210's. They are a mild drop, great ride, and will make your 18's look great, but still handle the bad roads. Here in NY, we have some pretty bad roads too!

Nice... l made a good choice! I also liked the Hypersteel colour but my car is white and I thought it might look to bright.

Yeah, that is pretty sweet.
I'll make the decision when I see the wheels on the car I guess. Thanks for the advise.

That reminds me of the rhd 1jzgtte TT toyota soarer that was at a local scikotics meet. It was pretty sick, they spaced out the wheels and awe man it was nice. Only been here in Vegas for 2 weeks now, straight from japan.

thanks, I have a different set of rims waiting once the weather breaks here in Mi. and then I'll see about spacing out the rear. the fronts are just about flush.

I almost bought a JDM Soarer (SC300/400) but I was iffy on getting it through customs, getting it delivered, making sure it arrived in the same condition that the photos showed.
I was real surprised how cheap they are, but the shipping and everything else adds up http://www.findjapancars.com/search/find.php?type=COUPE

check out some of the new BB's over there

Just ordered some wheels Monday and they already got here today. I have to wait for all the Spring and all the snow to melt before I can enjoy em, but I did a test fitting. They are Drag DR-31 18x8et35 with Hankook Ventus V12 Evos 225-40-18. They look pretty good and will look even nicer once I get my coilovers.

An 18x8 with +35 I'd bet he is dead even flush in the front.

Yep the front is dead flush. Rear could use a little spacer but I'm gunna wait until I get my coilovers on in the spring to decide.
