I'm thinking of going with 26" or 30" rims so no one would be bigger than me cause you know, thats all that matters. To hell with ride and ruining the suspension!!! I don't need to turn either, I just need to drive straight ahead.

^^ except the GS posted wasnt a donk.

if you dont like the fact of people putting larger wheels on a GS then you dont have to comment.

Right. Technically a "donk" is only a Caprice/Impala, which originated from Florida. Like VIP/RICE the name donk got raped and applied to any vehicle with big wheels.

Do as you please.

my point was, that GS doesnt look anything like the pics of the donks. Im not a fan of donks at all but a GS can be easily pulled off on 22s and not make it look like a donk.

22's work and look great. I just think they are to much work for my taste. I dont have the patience for all of the cutting and bending and rubbing. I would like to do 21's. That would look amazing

if you get the correct offsets then you dont have to worry about any of that.

Hey, come on now... you guys are talking about a very select group of individuals who are into that style. Most people in Miami think the donks look ridiculous. In fact, Miami has and always had some of the best looking and performing cars in the world.

I got to go 22's i had 20's with a drop for the past week. I'm just not happy the staggered setup is killer, but it would like it 100% more if they were 22's. And I agree with the person that said miami does have some of the nicest most bad A$$ cars, but don't forget about us Palm Beach Boys up here.....
