Default Want to see Zone 1 wheels on a GS? (pics insde)

If you want to want Zone 1 wheels look on a GS350, just got them on.

Also I believe these are the largest possible wheels on a 3GS without modding anything, which may be helpful to those deciding whether to mod suspension. If you go any larger than 19 it will make the total diameter of the wheel and tire larger than stock which would raise the car.

please take a look...

2007 GS350 with Zone 1 and Michelin Pilot PS2 19"

Lee, thanks alot for your business and the car looks great!! We specially built them to work with the PS2 tires and not give you any headaches, just in case you decide to go with a set of NF210's down the road.

I don't think they look like "poop" at all, the only "poop" I see was that previous post.

All it needs is a nice drop, great choice

They're 19s and have a chrome lip which I think accents the brushed aluminum nicely.

Love the wheels but as said above, it'll look much better lowered.

Looks great! How is the ride and tire noise level compared to the stock Advans?

1) Thanks most everyone for the useful feedback. i would prefer a lowered look also, but still deciding. I'm just so old now for a rough ride...

2) To the guy who said it was a waste: i guess it's good you don't have to drive my car around. i was very deliberate in choosing a chrome lip and machined face instead of all chrome. I had all chrome last time with an LS430 and it looks good, I've just had enough of it for a while. Personal preference but this was the surface finish i wanted. Also you criticize the wheels for being way too small, but they are 19 and the biggest most people ever get is 20, so I'm not sure what the heck you mean. some people just like it a hair smaller at 19, believe me price wasn't the issue.

3) To the person who asked how it rides compared to stock: It rides incredibly good, and the Pilot PS2 is an excellent, very comfortable tire. In fact driving back to back I was unable to detect that the ride suffered at all.

4) Derrick and D2-Autosport: I had a good experience and would recommend them. They have good prices and know what they're talking about. Also I would much rather deal with someone with who is on the forums, it's just seems more conducive to good service and relationship.

5) Zone wheels: The worse thing about high end wheels is waiting for them to be built, but Zone seems to have one of the fastest turn around times so that may be a factor for some others.

regards,

photoguy, a lot of springs do not hurt the ride. Make sure the spring rate matches stock or is as close as possible.

Again, great choice!

That's good to know.

Is there anything out there better for ride than the NF210's, or is that considered the best you can possibly get for maintaining closeness to stock ride?
