Default Wheel Types

Hopefully soon when I get another GS, I wanna throw on some other wheels on there to replace the stock. I don't know but I may or may not go back to chrome. This may be something cause I did not renew my subscription with DUB magazine this year. Anyway I always loved it but I may just go for something else this time. So, what are my options guys. What other type of wheel will look good on a GS. See all I know is chrome, chrome, and more chrome and another type I think is called painted metal. Like I said, I may or may not do the chrome again but looking for another type that'll still look pleasing to the eyes.

Personally I like chrome too but it all depends on the color of your new G. If it's black or silver I'd go black with a polished lip. I think that alloy doesn't do the G justice. But my main love is CHROME CHROME CHROME. Get it again and break necks in the street. DUBS this time though...

Brushed aluminum and diamond finish! I'm getting my brushed aluminum with chrome lips tomorrow. Cannot wait to throw them on. I think they give our cars that refined look. I like the subtle look instead of the look-at-me look of chrome.

I still like chrome too. I've had chrome knock-off 18s and OEM 17s in chrome. I find a nice rim in chrome can do the GS right. I always felt Lexus was one of the few brands that can get away with Chrome wheels.

LOL, it all depends on the exterior look and color of your vehicle. Also the type of wheel you plan to use.

Ditch the chrome that's played out. I say if you get a black gs a gold or bronze wheel would set it off. Everybody is doing the black chrome lip. I'm get the Volk GTU for my blk on blk.

I think the brushed aluminum finish is the classiest one out there. It's not too loud or flashy, and it goes well with pretty much any color.
