Nice...welcome aboard. I'm no expert here, but I wouldn't recommed getting your wheels chromed. If you want better looking wheels (a serious improvement to ANY ride IMO), I'd save some $$ and get 20's, that is unless you're really into racing. If you plan on racing out the GS, go with light 18" or 19", or save the $$ for engine mods. I'm guessing that you're more into looks (just a guess), so 20's are the way to go and even if they're chrome they won't slow you down too much.

PS: What kind of music do you spin?

And now we have the proof that they make the 2003 rims in silver!

Of course, we have yet to see any 2003 in a color other than black or silver.

Doug

PS- I have the a 2003 with chrome rims and love them - but yours look almost as good - if not better.

(((in voice of mr. macky))) big shiny crome rims are not cool ummkay!!!!!
j/k
conrats on the new ride............just a word of advice " rims make or break the car " make sure you take your time with the decision. look around, search this site, use photoshop forum(marketplace also) to get ideas
and ask questions.
good luck

I'm not in2 spinners either, but Davin's are sweet! My partner got them on his 2003 SC430 and they are hottt! Proof in the puddin they are the only spinners I would recommend, but the only thing is that they are so damn expensive.......
