Nice looking, especially with the tinted windows, but I don't particularly think it needs dropping but that's just me.

Do you mind saying what the wheels and tires cost you?

have you noticed any decrease in MPG with your new wheels?

I also have a GS300 and have installed 3GS OEM 18's wheels. I have also recently lowered it with Tein Stechs. Looks great with a conservative drop.

I like it. I personally think it looks much better with even a mild drop like chuckb's!
