Honestly cannot say it completely offends me. Actually kind of like the look myself. Id never do it, i like to have a little sidewall comfort factor, but it doesnt look completely horrid.

Looks good sittin' on the floor like that but it probably looks like *** while driving. I don't like when cars look good parked because they're bagged...and then they drive off high.

I think 20's on the older GS are perfect but the new body style can definitely take 22's. But only if it's lowered and can drive with the same look. Like this one here.......

how do you turn in that car without scraping or rubbing?
22's on any GS, not my cup of tea. to each their own.

Just because a car is sitting on top of the wheel doesn't necessarily mean lowered. This car is still 6-8" off the ground. Otherwise we give justification to some guy who does the same thing with 24's, etc. Lowered equals lowered to the ground, not to the tires (or lowered back to stock height)

From the pictures, the car looks overdone. The rims too big for my likes and the bodykit looks too big also.

that actually belongs in the DUB side .... I like the first car that was posted ... kinda everything after that kinda goes down hill for my taste ...


I dont need 20+ in wheels for me but depends on everyones taste ..

That's a bigger and better pic, but still 22" sized rims is way to much for the 2nd -Gen. It'll get you noticed but not for the "Ooh's and Wow's" IMO.

The 22s are overkill , but the 20s on the 3rd gen look good.

The pic of the first car is too small to really tell but it looks overdone. That white 3gs is sick!!!
