def. go with 19's.. i think i've only seen one gs with 18's and he pulled it off nicely but for the most part i don't think 18's would look that nice on the gs, IMO of course

idk how well u can see it but in my signature my car has 18s. i still got them and i actually dropped the car 2 inches to really make it look rite. even still i find that 18s arent really wat to go with on this car [given it can fit up to 22s on it] 19s or 20s lowered jus right rly set this car off.
