Default Rims?

I just got the 2008 AWD GS350 in the red color. I have already got 20% TINT on it, and installed V1 up by the mirror. I am waiting for summer and don't know what type of rims to get, Deep Dish 1.5" lip or 2" lip or reg. 20".

I will get some pics up of my car when i get some good shoots later.

I too have an 08 AWD, and I love chrome with a nice lip, the deeper the better in my opinion. My only issue, which I am not sure if you are considering is either to go 20x8.5 all the way around or to go staggered. I am leaning toward 20x8.5 all the way around with a 2 inch lip. Congrats on the new purchase!

Can't wait for the pics!

I do not think that AWD can go with a staggered setting because it might mass around with that AWD system.....
