YESSSssss.... got my car back today with the tokico's, H&R's, arrows, and pirelli's on. The difference in handeling is night and day. The ride is suprisingly smooth, no complaints at all. As for the momo's, i'm sure its there on paper but my car feels no slower than it did stock. Maybe from a complete stop it feels a tad slower when accelerating, but once its in motion and I stomp the gas I can't even feel a difference. Anyway its been raining for a while here so I havnt had a chance to take some pics, hopefully tommorow i'll have some up, untill then....

I have a similar setup
I have the H&R/Tokico/FSTB/RSB and 17" Lexus GS400 wheels with 235/45/17 Bridgestone Potenza RE030's. While my wheel and tire combo weigh 48 lbs each, my acceleration didn't decline too much. Perhaps it was because I installed the UDP around the same time. With the extra weight of the wheels, my car feels a lot more stable on the fwy and really nice on smooth roads. I've yet to install my y-pipe/b-pipe/5th gen muffler, but once those are on I think the additional weight from the wheels will be countered.

Wait, GS400 is very powerful. Why didn't you buy aftermarket ones? They are so light and costs way less than buying from Lexus. Lexus charges 800bucks for the GS400 rims......
