Nice wheels, I have wanted to see the SLT forging from &SWISS in 20", I always see them in 20". I think the color with the lowering and wheel finish is a sick combo

The wheels look great, but I just think the curve is too drastically different from front to rear. I personally would sacrifice the extra inch of lip for a straighter face. Of course this is my personal opinion, so take it with a grain of salt!

Either way, enjoy your wheels!!

Eh this place looks very familiar. I think I know where your car is. In Waiau right? Really like your car and rims. I should have gone bigger on my rims. Went with 18's because I was thinking of the comfort but maybe 19s would have been better. I got too much wheel gap.

Thanks. I know what you mean about the curve difference from the front and rear. I didnt know it was gonna come out like that. I honestly thought they would either be both flat, or both curved. Didnt come out that way. Mostly everything in Hawaii needs to be ordered. I aint gonna wait any longer. It'll grow on me.

My car rides like crap right now. Tanabe DF210's + 20" wheels + Hawaii roads = Lexus that rides like ****. (But still pimpin)

Go for 20"s

I know exactly what you mean, I actually spoke to a caller last week about the very same topic. That SLT forging is about 150.00 extra per wheel, which that raises a set price by 600.00 bucks, so in order to just tell someone 4" lip and keep the price from going up too high, some dealers will only order SLT for the 2 rear wheels!

I told the caller last week, "I know you got a price that was 300.00 lower, but do you really want me to ship you to really straight wheels and 2 really curved wheels??" He said "oh, I didnt know they would be like that!" lol

Either way man like you said you live and you learn and I'm sure you are loving the wheels, so just enjoy them. Have a great day.

The wheels look great. Is your GS an awd or rwd? I'm assuming it's an rwd but just wanted to check.
