Default 2006 GS Wheel Suggestions Black/Black (Picture)

Just got 2006 GS 300 Black/Black. Does anyone have wheel/tire suggestions?

Does anyone have a connection? I would like have as many options as possible.

congrats on the new car!

for wheels, check out the tire forum, you can get tons of info. we also have a lot of wheel guys here. tirerack is a vendor, and d2autosport is expert in iforged wheels among others

you can also talk to gsxotic and gs4will, they get a lot of nice jdm wheels

but i guess the biggest problem now is not wheels, it's about fitment. anyone knows about wheels fitment and offset info?

Exclamation Tinted Already----WOW

You just got the car and it's already tinted, that was quick. The car looks great. I haven't seen it in Black in person, but if that picture does any justice, I think I'll be making a decision on Black myself.

Black looks great in person. All the colors look great in person to be honest. Pictures really don't show the true colors. Pun intended!

Ideas are infinite. What do YOU want or like? I could tell you get pink wheels on 13" spinners.
1. What size do u want
2. What kind of finish (chrome, polish, alloy, painted)
3. What kind of design (mesh, spokes, multi spokes)
4. Staggered or the same size all around.

You want my opinon, here it is. I'd get some 20x8.5 front, 20x 10 rears (not sure of offset, will u upgrade brakes?) 255/35/20 front, 275/30/20 rear. Deep lips in the rear. I would go with a mesh or multi-spoke look and go polish to keep a classy look for now, until we figure out how painted wheels look on the car and when brake upgrades will be available....

And I am not 100% positive if that is the correct fit for the new GS.

I wasn't sure if 20's will fit. That's a bold suggestion, but I like it. I guess I need to find the right offset, I am not sure if it is the same as the past. The current wheel is a 17 x 7.5. The car really need a lot wider.

20s will fit with no issue. Why? B/C the stock 3GS 17s have a bigger diameter than the 2GS 17s.

DO IT RIGHT!!! You could be the first, a 3GS O.G......SHOW US THE LIGHT!!!! Be prepared to drop 3-4k on a proper setup, if not more.

I went to look at wheels on Wednesday, and ran into Bob from Zone Wheels. He turned me on to CL. He offer to help with coming up with the right combo, and they have a great looking product line-up. I want to do something pretty quickly because the dealer and wheel shops seem hot to get the take offs for a chrome exchange program. I will get more for them as trade than in the future, I think.

bob is a great guy, i know him well. talk to him about getting wheels, you are going to love it. once you drop teh car it's going to look even better

and yes, i am sure 20s will fit on the car no problem. if 20s do ok on the 2gs, 20s have to be ok on the 3gs
