Re: WALD LEXUS IS350

I really like those wheels.

But it seems like the newer IS is going to be accepted in the VIP crowd.

Good point. I think it is going to be accepted in the VIP crowd because it is purely a Lexus, and it looks much sharper, sophisticated, and mature than its predecessor, the IS/ Toyota Altezza. It seems like the second gen Intelligent Sport is aimed even more to the sports luxury crowd, as apposed to the previous gen, which looks more like a tuner friendly Toyota than a Lexus. Even though we all know that Toyota is the parent company, the two brands are distinctly different, and with Lexus now being sold as Lexus in Japan, I hope to see a lot more of these VIP IS's in the future. Great pic! :smitten:

Re: WALD LEXUS IS350

I will buy the fact that the car is hot...very hot at that, but it doesn't strike me as a flagship sedan. The IS350, especially with the wald work, looks to me like another GT sedan/M3 competitor. I am not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but it is just similar to the chaser/mark's in japan. I think they will be commonly VIP styled, but I don't see them being accepted into the VIPclubs.

Re: WALD LEXUS IS350

Isnt that the target market for the IS in the first place anyways? To beat the 3 series BMW? This might fall under the same category of the Infiniti G35 sedan...not quite VIP but not quite sport sedan.

Re: WALD LEXUS IS350

I would like to see a stock bodied IS with the same stance and wheels, I think it would look better but I still thinks its a pretty hot ride. Im just not feeling the fenders.

Re: WALD LEXUS IS350

Thats nice....

I like the rims but do you guys think if it was on ...... say a 300C ... do you guys think it would look cheap.. cuz i feel those rims are nice just cuz they are on a Jap car.... normally i like fuller wheels.. but on other cars or on street doesnt look at good

I love how the car just looks like tense bundle of energy, great looking kit, but I share everyone's feelings with the fenders
