Default Looking for pic of GS on 20's with stock height

I'm new on this board because I'm lucky to be a new Lexus owner!!!!!! I never dreamed of owning a Lexus let alone a GS. My previous car was an Acura Integra which was stolen. It was unfortunate but I had to grow up and stop messing with riceburners. My first plan is to get new rims and I most likely will buy them online. Can anyone recommend all reputable websites that sell wheel/tire packages? So far i've gone to tirerack, discounttire,and wheelmax. It seems like the majority of the members with 20's have lowered cars, but I think i'll stay with the stock height for a while. I don't mind the gap and i just have horrible experiences with lowered cars. Can anyone post a pic of stock height GS on 20's or find any pics out there that shows stock height? I'm looking at these rims which is around my price level <$2,000. Money is an object and i'm sure I could get a good deal on some decent looking rims. Thanks!

A GS on 20s with stock height looks like a truck...

Im going to do you a favor. I too had an acura integra before my GS. My integra was lowered and it was a nightmare as far as ride and going over bumps... but it looked really cool. When I got my GS, with 20's already on it, I swore to the high heavens I wouldn't lower it. here it is before

Glad I lied ...
The difference in the two cars when lovered isn't comparable. I never scrape the ground and the ride is very close to stock. And yes this pic is a p-shop but the car is now lovered just like the second pic and it gets my point across.

Honestly, just say no to 20s at stock height. Ug-lee. I would rather drive a lowered GS on stock 17s, personally. The problem with 20s and stock suspension it it always looks like the wheels belong on a different car, or you did one of these $1599 rent-a-wheel packages from Jimmy's Truck & Tire.

A set of springs is, what, $200?

Arent these the same rims, they're nice. I was going to buy the AZA's but went with 20" Axis Milanos.

LOL that was funny as hell man.

The GS has a "humpback" shape so with no suspension and 20s it looks like a pregnant ladybug IMO lol
