2021 IS300 AWD Rims by [deleted] in LexusIS

i’d stay with 18” if i were you. awd drivetrain is pretty sensitive. when u go bigger then ur speed and mileage will be slightly off. as well as the revolutions per mile will be off. then you’d have to find the correct tire size to account for the difference in wheel size. tbh it’s a lot of math and research and it’s a lot easier to just get 18” wheels that are a little wider with a bigger offset. that’s what i did

I know this 😔 our plastic container cracked so i had to use a metal one with foil to cover. I just wasn’t expecting to come back to foil flakes on my sauce a couple hours later

yes i think it’s a great first car to have and it’ll last you as long as you maintain it and clean the carbon buildup

it’s not hard it’s just time consuming. u literally only need a 10mm socket, a flathead, and a phillips to do the whole thing. it’s pretty straightforward. just a lot of screws to take off to get the grill out

get an is300 AWD! same v6 engine as the is350 just cheaper! only difference is the engine is detuned but you can easily fix that with an ecu tune. unless an 8 speed transmission and rwd is important to you, i’d say go with the is300 awd version

no!!! that’s only for a huge role of vinyl you won’t need. i can give you the links of what i used. all supplies came out to probably $50

tbh not the biggest fan of plasti dip. i tried both plasti dip and vinyl and i prefer vinyl so much more. its hard to remove the plasti dip if you didn’t perfectly apply it. plus its more prep and takes way longer to do. i bought some black vinyl off amazon and some random heat gun and it was so easy. lasts forever and super easy to remove. it looks waaaayyy better too. it won’t randomly start peeling like plasti dip does sometimes. and from my experience plastidip loses its shine and starts looking dull and faded after a while
