Just had it back today with new speed racing kit (front/rear lip, skirts) have some 9x19 and 10.5x19'' Racing Hart deep dish rims arriving from America along with Tein suspension on Monday. Will obviously look loads better then so I'll post up some updated pics. Will be the first 350 with these new wheels on in the world and I've had to wait an age for them 





Got these in an aggressive offset with a BIG lip on the rear (about 5''!)

Just looks silly on the standard rims now till Monday

looks mint ...............................but
one thing , with such an expensive car , when modding it dont you think they should try and do a better job with yhe mesh around the exhausts , or is that me being too picky .

I agree thats the one thing I'm not happy with, but if the mesh was cut as a perfect circle it would have split the diamond shapes and looked odd too. Think I'll take my time and find some better mesh

Can you not change the mesh for some sort of black grille slatting like on the front? that'd be nice... atm the silver mesh looks it lets the whole thing down and its bad cos its a nice car other than that

Yeah did think black mesh, to be fair the pics don't really do it justice and it does look better than the pics. Will wait to see what its like with the rims as they have a shiny lip, may look a bit better. Failing that will go for black

iirc this was just sprayed black but i think it just disguises the cut of the mesh a bit more . btw wheels look great , post more pics when there on for defo .

Personally I prefer them standard, think they look perfect but that's not bad mate 
The sound they make is amazing

Looks very nice mate, but just sort that mesh out like DNA said.
Black slats to match the front is the way o go about it i think.
Awesome car though matey, with them new wheels on it will be

Don't think it's ruined at all, I agree the mesh lets it down but thats easily rectified. The wheels will make the car, bloody hope so at £600 a corner without tyres true two peice and forged I'll try and get it booked in pronto to have the mesh sorted then IMO it will be spot on, the standard car was pony, bumpers were lame and it didn't have any skirts. Looks much more aggressive now.
