the rims on my gx470 are gone already, i just need new ones cause it make the car look really bad. Is this a known issue with the car im hoping mine can be fixed some how.

 

Paint them yourself and save a bundle of cash! Yes, it's a known issue. Here's a link:

Does anyone take into consideration the tire size with the speedometer change? I like to look of 30540/22 but I would like my speedometer to reflect as close to my true speed as possible. This is what I found.



Current Tire Size

Compare against a specific tire size.
(what is this?)
New Tire Size



Original tire:

Sidewall: 5.22 in
Radius: 13.72 in
Diameter: 27.43 in
Circumf: 86.18 in
Revs/mile: 735.18

New Tire:

Sidewall: 4.80 in
Radius: 15.80 in
Diameter: 31.61 in
Circumf: 99.29 in
Revs/mile: 638.10

Speedometer reading with new tire is 15.21% too slow.
When your speedometer is reading 60mph you are actually traveling 67.92mph.

 

So many of these wheels are not only not very functional for the GX but really cheap looking. It's SO hard to get a set of wheels that are gonna compliment the GX.

These I think are really nice for a more truck/off road tough look but for a luxury look it's not it either.

I will either go with them in silver or Matt Black or get the OEM triple chromes. I don't see any other wheels that really work.

 

Here is my 04 gx70 on the summer setup on 22 inch F5 wheels love how it looks with my smoked tails just got brand new headlights for it so they are clear finally just need to install them

 

What is your tire size Bayer96?

 

the tire size im running is 265/40/22

 

GX460 rims in hyper-silver. They provide the factory look, which I like:

 

Mine looks exactly like yours, except for the rear spoiler. Love the wheels. Only downside is that the extra unsprung weight of the wheels + the AT/2 tires has affected accel, braking, and mileage a bit more than I'd like. But, I'll put up with it for the looks

 

Here's our '04 fitted with 22's and recently went with 18's from the 460.

 

This is the best look in my opinion! 18 in factory Hyper Silver.

 

all these 20"+ wheels hurt my eyes, they dont match the GX well IMO

 

The GX460 wheels look best, yes - but maybe a little too Pathfinder for me.

I'm still (hopelessly) waiting to see a GX470 with the F-Sport wheels.

 

I agree! Everything I've see has been very cadillac Escalade looking in my opinion and installing tuner style wheels on this SUV is a defanite No No in my opinion. I've googled pics of "GX470 with 20in rims" and they all burn my eyes with the exception of the pictures below


My favorite so far with 20x9.5 full polish HRE 648Rs 295-45-20 . This looks like a grown mans GX!
