Default what size rims?

Ive been planning on purchasing some rims for my car. Just not sure what size to get? 20" or 22"'s? Im thinking 22" might be too big for the car but i would like to see some pics of the 22's on the gs to get an idea what gs's look like with them on. What do you guys think and if you have any pictures of 22"'s, please post em .... thanks

are you talking about GS? 22" is for SUV. 19" or 20" is the best size for GS.

This can give you an idea for slapping 21s, the car turns to be an SUV not a GS anymore. So you can imagine how 22s will look like.

you're kidding right... might as well install a lift kit (the reverse of what most do here with a lowering kit) and they will feel like boat anchors

Default definately not

my opinion,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,anything above 20 looks rediculously stupid on any lexus model..........20 is perfect, looks nice and blends with overall scheme of things............also in some cases even 20's are a tight squeeze

well unless u'r going 2 bag or air ride the car 22's won't fit without major major inner well and fendor mods. some cars just aren't made 2 have huge rims. i've seen some civics with 20's down here at shows and they look horrible. 21's look bad on the GS i can imgine 22's.. but man its up 2 u..

I beleive the only cars on the road right now, other than SUV's acours, that look good with either 21's or 22's are the new 745 BMW's and that new chrysler looking thing(the wheel wells are huge) you will be very dissappointed if anything bigger than 20. I think most people would laugh, rather than stare.

Two Words:



















Roller Skate!
Stick with 19s or 20s. Anything bigger takes away from the cars body; it just won't flow. I can't remember who said it but when you look at the car you should think "That's a nice car" NOT "Look at the wheels on that car" . Meaning, it should all just flow as one. Which is ONE of the reasons we lower the car and eliminate the fender gap.
