Oh I hear that, to be honest at first glance I thought they were 22s. I know having 22s limits your tire size selection, you have to cut alot more on the car to sit aggressive not rip your tires to shreds. Where I messed up was letting the wheel co decide what offsets to make my wheels, instead of figuring it out on my own. Not to many people have real aggressive 22 set ups so it was hard to get help. Its be alot of trial and error trying to get my very expensive over priced piece of **** wheels to look how I want!

Red, the car looks amazing with those wheels.

I was at a photoshoot with Chris earlier in August and he was talking about how much he loves your car!

Get with Chance and take some better pics so they can be added to the D2FORGED gallery! Join the ballers club!!! LOL LOL LOL

Wheels are on point......but I still think 21's look too big on the 3GS.

We put 21's and 22's on LS460's which look balanced, but that's because the LS is a bigger car. Just my feelings....

Red....Wow truly amazing...I'm not a big fan of 5 spoke wheels, there are only a few that make me say wow and these are one of them. Love the stance and look of your car. Good job bro

D, I think i love Chris for the miracle he pulled off. Now, i just need added a few more things to the grocery list. I'm still waiting for him to throw his bbq. I plan on gettin up with Chance one of these days to take some pics. The pics on here are wack. I already took more than a dozen..i just cant get the right angle.

...NOTHING like seeing it in person.

Thanks guys.

get yourself a metal file, raise the car up on a lift or use a jack ,and start shaving the fender lips down. I used a metal file. Its safer than rolling and it easier to do in tiny increments. 21's are very very rare. I think its the perfect size for the 3GS but then again I have seen some beauties with dubs and even a couple of amazing 3GS with 22's.
