EK9vboi, i know i noticed that from the first day i got on this form lol. i like laughing so i continue. i wanna drop the car and i cant because i have spacer in the front and i wasn't ready to buy new wheels after those 22s cause they cost me arm and leg 2 years ago.
i am just gonna sell em hopefully and get me either asanti or di vinci and drop the car with tanabe springs.

u should learn from the set of 22s u bought before. dont go buying asantis when there are 1023913 other companies offering 3 piece wheels for half if not less. for example, autocouture is a really fancy and some what expensive wheel, it will turn heads and impress others like no other. Asantis are dime a dozen, u have to be original and set the road for others. i'm not a big fan of asantis anymore, their styles are bo-bo now.

As for your car being a AWD, just get some RWD springs or better yet coilovers and put them on. all this talk about vibration is true for some, but do u really expect to change out stuff on the car and expect factory feel? i dont.

PLEASE NO MORE 22s, 21s if ur feeling baller or just stick with 20s. I love it when I see a car that is classy and not so much thug life... thats what them 22s seem like, thus all the wisecracks.

Agreed.. .definitely not 22s... Stick with 20s and a simple drop with coilovers. Keep it classy.

I actually roll on 22's myself and I have to give you credit gs350on22's. I would never post a pic of my car on this forum because I know many of the people on here would slam it. I actually didn't like the way my car looked either with the 22's on it at first because the car sat up so high, but once I put a set of springs on it, it came together so nicely for me. You have to do what you like, and if you like it, that is all that matters. One piece of advice I will give you is that if you need to use spacers to get the wheels to fit, then you have got the wrong wheels on. Keep rollin and take care!

actually im not sure if the shocks are the same, but the springs are or should be sort of a direct bolt on. I remember reading somewhere an AWD member had coilovers and it bolted on fine. I like the idea of coilovers so you can adjust it to your likeing. With 22s, you duno who much of a drop you need to make it look nice.

Yeah very short time indeed! The Audi was the same, just 6 months and TONS of $$$ put into it. In the end, it was nothing like my old E55. I'm back at "home" now in a Benz

It looks like a scraper. You should've got an old buick with 24's instead. Do not lower the car.

I really don't think this GS 22" is too bad at all. It's a bit tall but at least it's a Lexus.

One day me and wife were driving on freeway and saw this Buick... we laughed and snapped the picture.
