Can ANyone suggest 18" rims for a "Stock" look?
after much thinking and assessing my financial situation, I decided on going with a look close to stock. I thought of the staggered 19's with a deep lip in the back with a nice drop but I use the car for lugging clients around and don't want them bouncing too much. I decided on eibach pro's for a one inch drop and some stock looking 18" rims WITHOUT a lip to make it look bigger. And I don't want to go staggered so i can rotate the tires. Any ideas on a nice rim and tire size to achieve this? I want it to look more like how stock bimmers and benzes look with very little gap at stock heights(compared to our 4X4) and the 18" alloys that look clean without looking "modified"
thanks.
thanks.

Probably the 06 GS430 wheels like chuckb has.
Unless you dont want to spend $$$ on a staggered 19" They will ride great. Not sure what your clients are but I am in real estate and drive clients around all the time in my GS on 19" iforgeds and Tein CS slammed and it rides better than stock and have no problems with the extra weight. Just FYI.

I am a Realtor® too.
I like the '06 gs430 18's but can't find any for a reasonable price.
Subpar-thos e look really nice and it's close to what I am trying to achieve. I will look on craigslist and ebay for the 06 430's. A buddy of mine is giving me some Rx330 rims that I have seen on 2gs that looks good too but they are too narrow and I would have to space the back out.

The RX330 wheels look nice but were not meant for a 2GS. The width of the wheel is too narrow. If you do get RX330 wheels, you'll need spacers/longer studs to achieve a better look and that's just more of a hassle and possibly dangerous.
Since I'm such a nice guy, I'll run outside and snap a few photos of my car for you.
