Default 20's or 18's

Hey guys this my first 2000 lexus GS 300 and i really like it. Currently i'm running the stock 16" wheels and tires and the ride is great. But i really like the looks the gs's sittin on 20's. What i'm trying to decide is whether to go with 20's or 18's as i drive from central calif to los angeles every couple weeks. The tire shop tells me that i will hate having 20's on my GS so i'm at a loss. I'm not going to lower anytime soon. If you guys can respond to help me out that would be appreciated. And if any of you have a pic of your rig that may help me decide which way to go. Thanks

Default What do u Like

20's are cool but u r going to lose your nice ride and u would put new tires on the Back every 6 to 8 months 18"s u will still have a nice ride but u would have to lower car car a little Bit so that it looks nice.

I ve had 18s and now I have 20s and the ride is still a little harsh as far as eating up rear tires stay away from those directional tread tires they are horrible and they do wear out most shops have rim and tire deals but they sell you those tires , try buying your tires seperately that way you can get a better tire

18's look good on a compact car, and YES, your tires are gonna wear FAST, but hey, you gotta pay to play!
