Default Let Me See Pics of Your GS's with Big Lipped Wheels

Originally, I was looking to get the OEM 18" '07 GS wheels until I saw the upgrade my friend did with his E-class Benz. He had whimpy 16 inch wheels then got some deep lipped 19" wheels along with a drop and the car now looks 1000000x better. The view of the car while it's rolling is phenomenal. I want the same effect so I'm leaning towards 19 inch, deep dish wheels...something with a polished or chromed lip. I currently have 16's on my Sport Design so with a drop, I should expect a dramatic change. Show me some GS's with deep lipped rims.

you should think about getting some brushed faced wheels with a nice chrome lip. Having the GGP exterior with that wheel combo would be sick IMHO. There aren't too many of us on here with the GGP, so pictures with our color and rims are hard to come by, but let us know what you decide on and post pics...!

That's what I was thinking too! Brushed with polished lip would look great on our color. Even bright silver with polished lip woud interest me. I know someone selling a set of 19" Axis Milanos and I'm thinking about jumping on them...

Here is mine with 20" EXE Machined Konvex Wheels. Staggered 20X9 up front and 20X10 in the rear. Off sets are +35 and +37. That is a 2.5" lip up front and a 4.5" lip in the rear.

What rims are out there that fits a stock body GS (maybe with a roll or pull on the fenders) with a significant dish/lip? With the high offsets, I have had a hard time finding something with an aggressive lip that would fit. I have seen some on the forums that were 2~3 piece rims, but then you are also talking a good $1k per rim or more. I do remember reading a thread that had some pictures posted on some pretty deep dished rims that were also very recently priced.

I actually went with Lowenhart LSR, should have gone with the 11inch wide rears, but didn't know any better at the time. I am happy with what I have, but there's always room for improvement!

You can get the EXE Konvex for about $2000 new. and LSR's are pretty nice! Congrats!

Since you did ask for 19s, I think I'll show mine. Sizes are Fabulous Profounds 19x9 and 19x10.5, with air suspension.
