I had 20's on my last GS and they were a bit of a pain to roll with. This to me is way over the top. But hey, whatever floats your boat. Damn rap videos! And the 22'" sticker is the icing on the cake.

To each his own but IMO, "they ain't that good either"

The GS is such a short car (the current GS is shorter than a 03ES!!), the wheels are just too close together!

Kinda reminds me of this look



All Jokes aside, variety is the spice of life man, if you are happy keep on rollin'!

22'' is too extreme
The GS looks to far off the ground
Even with lowering it he might get rubbing

I'm still trying to get use to my car being on 20s, but I mean that in a good way. 22s are a different story IMO.

He even had to get "22 written on the side of his car just to make sure everyone knew

Looks like they forgot to put tires on. I bet that's a cushy ride with that whole 1mm of rubber between the rim and ground

I think the rims are nice....as for it being that big.....I dont know...id have to see it in person but i dont think it looks as bad as you guys make it out to be: by the looks of the pics anyway.

everyone is diff...but i guess opinions do eventually matter at some point

i like it . . i would honestly go wit 22s if we can actually make turns with it on. The bigger, the better. I just dont see the point of lowering your car for? theres no point of that . . to me, thats just "RICEY". The GS is a luxury vehicle not a honda civic. This is just my opinion but i think at least 4 TVs is a must, decent system, chrome rims, not silver or polished, and a mature looking body kit, something like LXOGOOD's GS and others on here. It has a fancy look to it, like 10 years from now the car would still look hot, nothing too crazy looking like that eurubini kit that alot of GS owners in NYC has . . to those CL members from NYC, you guys should know what im talking bout ! They should just slap themselves! lol

but w/ 22"s, wouldn't you be more prone to damaging your rims on bad roads, or having to replace your tires on a more frequest basis then you would on 19" or 20"s?

It's always interesting to see our differences in opinons. Makes for interest conversation.
