I don't like 22's on the GS, but I think the rim design is clean. Not too busy. Looks good.
Would look better lowered imo.

I like your attitude in the comment you posted. You may have seen past threads on here before with a GS on 22's and the negative (sometimes nasty) comments that come with it. Not my style personally but I'm not gonna bash on it. As long as you are happy with it OP I guess that's what counts.

This post says it all and I think the general consensus would agree .

Every once in awhile these types of threads appear which usually ends up turning out ugly and goes off topic. No wonder why there's a separate "DUBS" section on here.

I like it but obviously because I have 22's on my GS too. I'd rather not lower my car and slap on window curtains and call it VIP.

Speaking of spinners, I thought they had all died out, but I saw someone running them last week, lol. Must be the last set in Atlanta, At least it wasn't on a Lex. OP, those wheels actually look good, but 22" really doesn't go well or flow well aesthetically with the GS body (but they flow perfectly for the 4th gen LS) . Maybe if you dropped it like some others have already mentioned, it would really pull it off better.

And Yes.... a chromed out car IS ghetto......somewhat like a Ricer is your typical APC product user.

Not true! im sitting on 20's IMO sit perfect either coils or bags
Actually....opinions are neither true nor false . They are just that, opinions.

My opinion is that the GS is midsize and looks awkward with large rims, especially sitting that high.

Back on topic though, it is the OP's car, and if he likes it, he can rock it.

I've looked but can't seem to find that same definition of ghetto anywhere.

Definition of GHETTO
1: a quarter of a city in which Jews were formerly required to live
2: a quarter of a city in which members of a minority group live especially because of social, legal, or economic pressure
3a : an isolated group <a geriatric ghetto> b : a situation that resembles a ghetto especially in conferring inferior status or limiting opportunity <the pink-collar ghetto>


Examples of GHETTO
He grew up in the ghetto.
Origin of GHETTO
Italian, from Venetian dialect ghèto island where Jews were forced to live, literally, foundry (located on the island), from ghetàr to cast, from Latin jactare to throw — more at jet
First Known Use: 1611

Thanx4 all the opinions on my ride. Beauty and style are always in the eye of beholder. Whether it be artwork, clothes or cars. I like the car and plan on doing other mods. As far as some ppl thinking its ghetto its ok i have used that term b4 in refering to other cars. Lol. The girls in my city of Atlanta seem to like my ride and thats Y most guys hook there cars up. GIRLS DIG COOL CARS.

Not a fan of chrome or super large wheels...I call them Stagecoach wheels, but it's your whip so do as you like.
