22 inch wheels are too big. I agree with the people above. 20 inch wheels with a drop looks wonderful. My Sevas are for sale.

THANKS BRO...I LIKE THE AGGRESSIVE LOOK OF SOME OF THE GS KITS...BUT NOT MY THING...BUT THEY ARE NICE...

I AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT THE NATURAL DESIGN LINES OF THE GS...BEAUTIFUL AND CLASSY...

THANKS FOR THE KIND WORDS...TRYING TO KEEP IT CLEAN AND MY BUDGET UNDER CONTROL =P...BTW...THE WHEELS ARE COLOR MATCHED AND NOT BLACK...BUT YOUR NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THINK IT LOOKS BLACK FROM THE PIC, HAHA, ME TOO =)

I'm a fan of 20's but after seeing this Lex on 22's and kitted...it makes me think twice. Unfortunately I don't have any info on the kit or the rims. Does anyone else know?

air runner kit is nice.. but it's too much for me just to spend on suspension.. although I hear the ride is ridiculously plush.

Default hey

I see palm trees. Palm Trees = NO POT HOLES. The kit does make the car look lower to the ground, which is why everyone hates the look of the 22s (Too high off the ground). If if could be driven everyday that low and still ride like factory
But you have to consider if your car is a daily driver, or a show car. After all that said, I say 20's. Its all illusional, get a 20 that looks huge. Or get a 22 that looks like a 20.

22's are the new 20's. the ride difference is not that much different. i have had 20's on my gs and now i have 22's. the 20's were just to small. girls are now having 20's on there cars. if u want a mans ride go 22's unless u want to be a street racer or u want a low rider.

the first two pics make the car look like an off-road vehicle..... the wheels look to large,.... maybe a 21" wheel would look better, but then extremely rare and $$$.

Following ghetto trends is never wise... cuz in Houston 24's is the new 20's, not 22's.... that's like 3 yrs ago according to hood standard... a lot of people are donkin' their rides....

Im in the same situation you are. I had a 2nd gen gs with 20s and it was lowered with a kit. Now i just want to ride and look good without the worry of a kit. It sucked worring about every little dip wherever you went. I now have a 3rd gen and am going to put 22's on it and lower an inch. I think 22's on this car fit perfectly. In my opinion they don't look to big they look perfect and 20's look to small. You will have to eventually go to a brake upgrade but its for the better with the bigger wheels. The white gs on here with 22's is the best looking gs on here and it has (what 22's). Thats the way to go, the body got longer and bigger and so should the rims. You may think im crazy but i bet lexus executives looked at the rim market and saw how it is changing. Just think when you have that 3rd gen gs on 20s and lowered and that other gs on 22s and lowered pulls up to the light. That one on 20's doesn't stand a chance anymore!


Quick Reply: 20's or 22's????
