Default What do guys think of my 19" wheels?

To cut a long story short...these are the alloys i had on the Supra i sold last year...and the guy who bought it "couldnt afford" to buy the car with the wheels...so i decided to keep them for myself as i knew most Lexus' cars use the same wheel-setup as the mkIV Supra.

So...do you think these alloywheels would look good on my GS300?

The fronts are 8,5x19", and the rears are 9,5x19"....and i cant remember the offset...between 32-35 i think they are...60mm centercup.

If they fit your GS, I say put them on. They will look hot

Im hoping they do! And seeing as the lineup of "aftermerket wheels" that TTE offered here in europe (back when the 2gs was new) was interchangeable between (atleast) the GS and the mkIV Supra...i think they will fit quite nicely

LOL Yeah, the though has crossed my mind...just to slip the car into the garage and try them on...but i havent done it yet...partly because of the winterweather we are having...and the fact that my GF is VERY pregnant at the moment...and i need to be able to get her to the hospital in one piece...when the time comes!

AND...i havent gotten around to install the 30mm lowering kit ive got laying around in the garage either...so im thinking i might be disapointed by the 4x4 look! Oh well...i guess ill have to be patient then

Those are beautiful wheels, but for them to get to there full potential I feel you need to put that bad boy to the ground. ATLEAST a half a finger gap if not less.
