That is how the GS should be styling. Don't mind the chorme haters. With the chrome trim at the bottom of the car it ties those rims in so nicely. I've always loved the LD1's and I had a set of them as well. My only issue with those rims are the weight. Very heavy to say the least.

Overall excellent job and when lowered it will be one of the best gen 3 GS I have seen on this forum.

Dude...if you have AWD and have gone staggered....that's a pretty big mistake...you will end up with drivetrain issues ...

Also, good luck finding springs for the 2006 AWD..no one offers 2006 AWD tailored springs yet...only for the RWD vehicle is available.

This is the main reason i haven't gone with rims yet...dont want the 4x4 look and i dont want to get insulted saying i got $5000+ shoes on and can't afford springs....

Anyway...i would rethink your decision to go staggered.....

It's ok to roll around on stock rims at stock ride height, but come on, driving on $4,000 worth of rims (19's no less) at that stock ride height is pretty lame (no offense). It's like buying a $4,000 suit and not having it tailored. Spend the extra $500. ALL IMHO.
I have the same car and want to go bigger wheels and lowered but they don't make springs spec'd for the AWD. Do you think the GS430 spec'd springs would work?

I was wondering the same thing.I think the AWD300 sits 1/2in higher than the 300/430.This could be an issue with the 300/430 springs.
