Default New wheels. Keeping an OEM type look

I've had my GS for over 5 years, paid off and am a simple guy and I finally decided to get new wheels. Wanted something that looked closer to a stock type wheels, but with a twist. Done with coilovers so she's staying stock height. I really love the look. 19x8.5 245/35 35 offset with 8mm spacers, 19x9.5 275/30 40 offset and wrapped with continental DWS tires I think that's all right.

I LOVE THOSE WHEELS !!!

Fantastic Choice !! I got the DWS in an 18" setup for my AWD 300 and they tires are good for the terrible weather we are having up here in Canada !! Wish my wheels looked as nice as yours but I was rushed to get them so I had to compromise on the style.

Thanks for the compliments, and not making fun of my stock suspension. ha ha

Ahh. Hate stickers, it's in the glove box, lol

Wheels are "Ground Force" concave GF09 in hyper silver($1250), and these are stock Lexus brakes just aftermarket rotors. A member has some just like these which is the reason I picked them up, so thanks to "Tdizle".

Ha ha. I was due for tires, figured I would treat myself to some wheels as well. This should be it, but would consider a big brake kit for a little more stopping power. I'm at 130k miles on my car now.

Cool man. Not every car has to be pants on the ground with bags or coilovers.
