Breden Forged C01′s Reach Foreign Soil!

We recently received these images from a Breden Forged customer in Norway. Featured on this Lexus IS250 is the C01 model in chrome. Specs on the rims are 20×8.5 +38 and 20×10 +38. This car looks to either be on coilovers or air bags due to the slammed ride height. For pricing on Breden Forged wheels visit our website www.elementwheels.com

We photoshopped the last image a lil bit to get the image to “pop” a little more. Click on the images for larger sizes.

20″ MRR HR2 Staggered Wheels on IS250

I know, I know…..another IS250 with MRR HR2 wheels. Well at least this one is slightly different due to the owner wanting 20′s instead of 19′s. So for this car we went with 20×8.5 +35 and 20×9.5 +40 in the Silver/Polished finish. For tires we went with 235/30/20 front and 255/30/20 rear Falken FK452. The only drawback to those considering running 20′s is that you have to run a 30 series tire which is a really small sidewall and with stock suspension it makes it seem like there is a lot more wheel gap. To remedy this, we installed a set of Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs. As you can see this helps close the gap and give the car a more proper look. The ride is a little stiffer than stock due to the shorter sidewall and springs but still very comfortable for your every day commute.

19″ MRR HR2 Staggered Wheels on 2009 Matador Red IS250

Here we have a brand new off the dealer lot 2009 IS250 RWD in Matador Red. This car turned out great and it was nice to see a pretty rare color IS250 come in for some new wheels and suspension. We went with the tried and true set up of staggered 19×8.5 +35 and 19×9.5 +45 MRR HR2 in Silver/Polish finish. For tires we chose the ever popular Falken FK452 in sizes 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear. We also installed a set of Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs which gives the IS a nice & suttle 1.4 inch drop up front and 1 inch drop in back. This is a perfect combo for the IS in my opinion. The lowered stance sets the car off with the addition of the new 19″ rims and the ride quality is just like stock. The HR2 is becoming one of my favorite wheels that we’ve installed on the IS.

MRR HR2 Silver 19s Staggered on 2009 Lexus IS250

Here we have another satisfied local customer who wanted to change up the look of her (yes I said her, women fix up their cars too!) brand new 2009 Lexus IS250. Her search for wheels ended when she saw the clean and sporty look of the MRR HR2 in the silver/polished finish. We went with the staggered set up which consists of 19×8.5 +35mm and 19×9.5 +45mm and wrapped them in 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 Falken FK452 tires. The HR2′s totally set the car off but we weren’t done yet. Our customer wanted the car to handle even better so we installed Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs which drops the car 1.4″ front and 1″ rear. Next we will be installing Hotchkis Sway Bars front and rear. Stay tuned…
