Default XHP's on the GS

Went ahead and put the new wheels on the GS tonight. Couldn't stand looking at them any longer not being on the car. Still haven't received the 4th wheel, therefore no coilovers installed yet. Hopefully, sometime next week all should done. Beleive or not the Lexus dealership has given me the best quote for installing all 4 Bilsteins. they have beaten other quotes by $90 minimum. Here's a pic showing the lip.

Another pic showing a side view. The GS was super dusty from sitting for a week so I hosed it off. I showed the side pic to the wife and she says " Who's dented Lexus is that?" lol, It's not dented!!!! Those are reflections.

Not really feeling the wheels, but thats just my opinion. If you like it, then that's all that matters. Good luck on your suspension install.

You are correct it is 3 and 1 . Just didn't have time to snap another pic. Driving around is not an option right now. I have studded snows on the stock wheels. State law prohibits studs after May 1st, $200 fine if caught with even one studded tire on.
