Default 2006 Lexus GX 470 Upgrade Rims

Hey Everyone,

I bought my 2006 GX 470 Lexus last October, and I love it. I currently the OEM rims on the car, and I am considering changing the rims to either 20inch or 22inch.

The new rims wil be for the spring and summer, and I will use the original rims during the winter.

Has anyone upgraded their wheels, and have a recommendation? My biggest concern is, how much will it effect the ride and performance of my SUV if I upgrade?


Thanks,

PJR

i bought 20" Antera's and the ride is incredible. handles 100 times better on a dry road and looks great, just keep the stock rims for snow tires. i made the mistake of getting rid of mine and now have to purchase again.
