Default 22s aint that bad after all...

this GS looks pretty good from this angle... from here, it looks like it fits just perfect.

20" is the biggest I'd go on a GS.

exactly....I'm terribly sorry but I would have to give it a ....big rims are very nice! but 22s is way overdone....you have to know the point where it is too much of a good thing.

i dont think they look bad.. now if we could find a way to make them fit and not rub and be able to lower it and have no gaps it would be HOT... i think it would look great but anymore pics

Default they look awesome but...

how's the ride?

not only that but - if you're concerned with looks, having rims that big kinda limits you on whether or not you can lower the car right? if that's the case, maybe some lower sideskirts and a front/rear lip would make it look like it's lowered?

i dunno- just throwing ideas out there. i think they look sweet though. Good job!

doesnt look as bad as i woulda thought but would it look better with the same rim in 20's lowered? thats the real question...

alot more efficient ways to achieve better looks in my opinion

Thanks, I just hurled. Has anyone noticed, he can't even turn the wheel. Whats the point? If 20s look PERFECT, even 19s look great, how can 22s look better? They don't. They are just bigger.

This guy must go crazy when he sees some guys on a **** video. He must run and ride in his car to make himself feel better.
