Default Some new pics with 19" rims

I had trouble getting the attachments to show up. Could someone help fix.

I haven't posted in a while and I know how much you guys like pics so here are a couple recent ones of my GS400. I bought some new 19"s a couple months ago and they ride great. I'm on 245/35/19 General Ultra High Performance tires and they are excellent. My car has 115k miles and it drives like glass with no vibrations at all. I have Michelin Pilots on my stock 17"s for winter and I've also had Toyo Proxes FZ4 and T1s and these are a lot better deal for what you get for your money. I've been on L-tuned springs with KYb shocks for a year and this setup is great for a slight drop, better handling, and still comfy, and its inexpensive.

looks stock which is good, though the rims are a bit too plain, oem 17 looks best, looks like how the GS's supposed to be from factory.

Thats exactly what I was shooting for. I wanted the stock look with bigger rims.
