Maybe I mistaked someone else's car for Sansei's. If these are the pictures of the vs-xx, then I am not talking about these rims:

I am trying to figure out what rims are on this car:

Those rims are nice!

Funky, it's from this company. They do exhausts, wheels, and bodykits for Infiniti and Lexus. http://www.element114.com/

Big wheels on these cars just spell PLAIN GHETTOOOOO.....
It's like having a big spoiler on an otherwise stock car is crazy ugly. But if the entire car is modded to be fast and has the wide body kit, race engine, etc then you might be able to pull of a large spoiler...all depends on who does it.
Davin does make some nice rims that are NOT spinners. I love their new SPEED SP2 rims and thinking those might be nice to go on the GS. My bro just picked up a new white one so we'll see what route he takes.
As for Plus sizing a wheel, in regards to that one guy's comment. Adding 1" diameter overall to a wheel does NOT Make it lower....just the contrary now your car will sit higher since the middle axis point does not change.
So the bigger your rim, the more you will need to drop it to maintain the same overall look. Otherwise you get the hoopty raised look which is butt ugly![Frown](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
