Vogues? Maybe Volks

The OEM LS won't look too bad if you are going for a stock look but on the mustard and mayonnaise.

on a Caddi, yes. on a 2nd gen gs, not so much... i would say a cadillac dts would be pimpin for sure with this setup but i think it would look a little silly on a 2nd gen gs.

what look are you trying to go for exactly??

The look im going for is LUXURY!

THE LEXUS GS IS A 4DR LUXURY CAR!

Leather+Wood+Full Face-Face-Chrome ... All go hand-in-hand (so why not vogues)

I think some of you seem to FORGET that or look at the car differently after you throw on your body kits + stickers + underglow lights + ebay accessories.

But to each is own........

You guys look at me and think Im nuts cuz I want vogues on my gs, but you wouldnt catch me DEAD in my car with a big sticker across my window or some funny lights glowing from under my chasis.

In my eyes most Cadillac's and a lexus gs are IN THE SAME CATEGORY!

So I think Im gunna be riding on mustard and mayo with my ls chrome shining for an alternative set of wheels depending on my mood of the day

dude i have no stickers/ badges/ neons/ crazy lights/ or any other candy related stuff on my car... i don't even have a body kit, but thats more because the wife' wants furniture before a body kit for my car. i agree that some gs peeps can get a little carried away, but unless your gs is purple or gold i don't think it will pull off the look very well... i gots nothing against vogues and i'm sure they would set off plenty of cars, but a gs with vogues is a little silly. come to think of it thsoe rims look a little silly too. they look like some fake plastic wheels with chrome paint on top...

i call these windex wheels...

maybe thats why they look so cheesy... yeah man i'm just not feelin it on a gs... if thats your gs in the pic in your sig block, what wrong with the rims on it now? i think those look much better than the new ones you are considering. i actually took my gold emblems off, not sure why they put gold emblems on a white gs...
