Default Finally uploaded some pics of my GS300

This is pretty much a duplicate thread from the one I posted on another forum. Sofar the only uploaded pics I have are with the 18's I do have some decent before pics but I haven't found them yet. Also none of the new pics show the front left corner of the car, this is only because I had to put a dirty stock wheel back on after a blow out and I didn't like the look of it with the other rims (the car doesn't have any hidden damage lol).

A dealer pic from before I bought it.



After:
















A funny looking pic of me being geeked the night I threw the rims on (a friend tried to hop behind the wheel while I wasn't looking).



Looking back it does look odd without atleast seeing the front left part of the car, oh well. IMO the 18's are aight for now.

Tell me what you think.

Thanks for the props fellas. I plan on lowering it, probably an inch all around to make it sit on the rims a little better and handle tighter. I agree about 18's starting to seem small but they grew on me and might be on for a minute untill I find some 19's that I like.

looks nice and clean, I like the wheels.

The 18s may seem small in the pics, but once you have a nice drop on the car, the wheels should look more proportionate to the car. keep it up

Thank you, I'm looking forward to dropping it a little. The sticky 245zr rubber grip so well I can't wait to make the suspension handle better.

Nope. I bought it in Downers Grove, IL but the original owner lived in Florida (Which is why it has no rust). Why did you ask?
