suggestions on wheels/rims
I'm just now looking into getting new rims for my GX. I need to know if 20s or 22s have worked for other owners and suggestions on some nice fitting styles for the GX. Ive looked only at the Zinik Z1 and Z6. My GX is ash blue, has anyone tried the black rims or would this not look good. Im thinking the chrome would probably look sweet though. Finally, are there any good pictures of GXs with tire/rim mods?

Go with the 22" bro . I just sold my 22" for $1600 (6 months only 1800 miles on them) or you can do 24" like a Ias CL member .https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=179139 P.S what are you going to do with your tire sensors?

those are 24s, thats tight. That 4runner looks mini next to the gx in that picture. Any idea what company makes those rims? I dont know about the sensors to tell you the truth.

Another question i was wondering if someone could answer. I live in Upstate NY and the winters are rough, Do I switch between my stock in the winter and my other rims in the summer? Probably a stupid question but I have no idea about this.

Who makes the rims that you just sold? You would be the one to ask, would you go up to the 24s, and what changes need to be made (ie sensors, wheel well) with the 22s vs 24s. It looks like youve made a few nice changes to yours.

I drive the 2003 GX. Ive never even had anything tell me the pressure in my tires is low. Was this tire pressure sensor even on the initial model?

Do 22's cause friction with the wheel well on sharp turns???
