I'm located in Pocatello which is about 55,000 people so it seemed pretty normal living to me. Then again when I went to Vegas for the SEMA show I realized how country Pocatello was. There are only a couple other Lexi in town all of which are stock.

man, I love the way your car looks! The wheels of course are sweeeet. And the kit ,very original. I only saw the first few pages of this thread, and I'm wondering if u have coils or not? Sorry if I missed that. If so, I would crank those suckers down even further, but thats just me. Nice job!

Very well put together GS!

I especially like the wheels and the 3.5 inch lip at the back that looks like a whopping 6 inches in the pics!

Aw man, with air BBK, and some new tails it's gonna all over.

Another thought:

with all the comments on this thread about tint, and this is strictly a matter of opinion, I saw a black GS with (believe it or not) GREEN tint on a japanese Aristo site, and it looked really hot! Just a thought.

Wow, I was pretty surprised to see this thread back. Thanks Gato for the compliments. I am far

from done, air, bbk, tails, and on and on. I think it's going to be a never ending project. That

black gs above was definately a motivation for me. I would have ordered the kit that is on that

car, but when I found out it was available to me I already had the Blick coming in on a boat, oh

well. As far as the green tint goes, who knows, maybe I'll be gutsy enough to do it, I love it on

the black cars posted, but have been too chicken to do it myself.

Default Mayas RT5 or Trafficstars RTS?

These are the best wheels by far for the GS. That is the way I will go. I am a realtor here in FL, so the time is slow right now for real estate, so I just had nothing to do and looked through the forum and D2autosport.com to look at wheels and found this thread. And I was like wow! These are the wheels for this car! When Lexus or any manufacturer puts certain type of wheel on the car (5-star in this case on the GS) I think their R&D made good research and found that 5 star wheels is the way to go. So now if you want to mod the car, the best way to do it is to find 20" 5 star wheel that realy transforms the car to the max, looks wise. Sorry for the blog. Maya RT5 20" only come with brushed aluminum with black accent?! They look good, but I did not see a pic of them on the GS. Can you get them without black accent?

romnl, how much would be the trafficstar RTS 20" from Japan, where you got yours from, or you also got them from TLW on this forum like Rdubz did? I priced out Maya's at $3350 for 20" with no tires.. Also question about offset.. I am kind of new to this. Rdubz, you mentioned +30 in the front and +29 in the back. Do you get spacers for that or the wheels comes like that? Sorry for roocky question. lol. I was going to get Tein CS for my car. Do Maya RT5 come with this offset?

Here is my car now..
