just so you're aware, he's got 18" GS450 stock rims, which probably cost as much or more than your 22's.

i think it's probably the only set of 22's ive ever seen look okay on a GS, rather than a full dish chrome in your face kinda set.

and seriously, is the pissing contest necessary? to each his own guys. god damn.

not a pissing contest ! i didnt bash his car ! all i said about his car was nice stocks but im glad he bashed mine cause that just shows me that my car is on his mind and stock lexus 18's retail for $738 a rim from the dealer ! my 22's retail for over $796 ea. for the fronts and $846 each for the rear rims! and i dont even need to mention falken 245/30's and falken 285/25's ! but thanks for the compliment on the rims bro ! the topic reads STAGGERED 22'S ON MY GS430 ! and the topic is meant for responses/comments - or + ! personally i really could care less what chuck thinks about it ! ive changed my rims 6 times since ive bought the car on March 20th,2008 ! and i've got my eye on another set of rims !

VEGAS DRE I really think you should try a set of 21's bro. The 22's dont look too bad, but as others have said, without the "slam" and aero mods the bottom of the car still looks high.

Before you get the next set of 20's try a set of 21's and a aero kit. I think its the perfect mix of size, but not being overdone.

As for the comments from other members, I think we need to be a little more tolerant of others tastes. I'm not personally a fan of 22's on any GS, but we don't have to slay the guy. If you dont like it, feel free to voice that, but lets maintain some level of comraderie

I'm not a fan of big wheels. I envision the GS as "sports sedan" and big wheels take that away.

not to mention derrick is kind of the end-all-be-all when it comes to rims and their sizing haha.

also, dre i dunno what stock 18's you were looking at but i was almost positive the 450h wheels cost more than that. i could be wrong though.
