My question: 19's or 20's.?..Also, which rims have the most lip: Maya DTM, DTS; Zauber Gettins; Lowenhart LD5; or Work euroline LS.?..please give me some insight and what you prefer on deep dish rims..
Any of the wheels you list have good lip with the right offset. Here's some others that offer maximum lip and are in the same price range: Asanti, Makavelli, Avus and Symbolic. These are multi piece wheels that specialize in max lip...5 inches deep.

Don't worry. Most CL members that have 20's on their rides don't even notice the minor speedometer difference. Trust me, 20's are the perfect match for GS. If you go with 19 for now, you'll start looking for 20's later down the road, so why bother?

i still vouch for 19's, cause when gs's are slammed on 19's, they look hot, perfect i think, but i dont know how low u plan on going, anyways nice jump to the gs, welcome to clublexus.

i pretty much plan on staying with the l-tuned drop that came w/the car...its a very nice subtle drop...nothing extreme...from my past experiences, lower isn't always better because you run into camber problems and to fix that its expensive (labor, parts, etc.)...so i guess 20's are the unanimous decision???

Congratulations on your new car. You will not find a better community than Clublexus.com. I've seen your TL around town several times and thought it looked great. I can't wait to see what you do to the GS.

Shyne,
I feel your pain on the TL. I still have and own a 3.2 TL. I am also on my second tranny. There is no comparing the GS and TL. The GS is much more refined and the TL well feels like a V6 honda accord.
Really not worth getting rid of cause I would be lucky to get even 12k for it. It serves my purpose as my beater and winter car...and has NAV which comes in handy. Got to say that the 1st gen honda nav can still hold its own to the many newer nav units out there.
Good luck with modding the GS. Yes, you will spend much much more money on modding the GS.

LOL! If anything, it is the reverse. When you are going 85, the car thinks you are going 80. So in an hour, you've gone 85 miles while the car thinks you've only gone 80.
