Your Favorite Type Wheels on a GS
Hello,
I know all of you have a great deal of knowledge on different wheel setups on a GS so I will ask this. What are your five top picks for wheels on a GS? I know all you guys are going to pick Lowenharts, HREs, Work, but throw in some lower price wheels in there also. But they have to available in 19s or 20s. I know I want wheels but unfortunatly there are NO Lexus GS's in my area with big wheels so I am sitting here surfing through hundreds on web pages trying to look at wheels BUT it is hard to tell if the wheel you are looking at will firts, look good on the car and second the quality of the wheel itself. So if you have any first hand knowledge of any particular manufacturer please add that in. THANX for your time!

goin 19s or 20s, there are hardly any wheels I like. One thing is that most performance wheels don't need to be that big, especially like Volk Racing where they hardly produce anything larger than 18s.
I would go with AVS Model 5 for 19s. OR maybe Work Equips.
Will,
Zeit is owned by BridgeStone? Isn't Cerumo too? How many wheel companies does BS own?
btw thanks for hookin me up with Mike for service!! Great guy! Dope service!

globe,
mike is wayyy cool hehe i think bridge owns ~5-7 wheel brands/co.
gsman, if you like the work meister s2r, there is a store in SG valley that caries, you can actually go there and have the wheel set next to the car for look reference. imo, the design is bit thin for the GS, so 19s would be better in this design. but then you would need the piaa rossa because work s2r only go up to 18s.

I too have been looking for wheels for my future GS. I'm still having a problem deciding if I want to do 18's or 19's. The other dilemma I'm running into is that most of the wheels that I like for 19's that are a staggered setup are really expensive. But I would suggest looking at Axis Milano's or Axis Super Mesh(I think thats what they're called) you can get these in a staggered setup for a fairly reasonable price. Then wheels I'm also considering are the Mille Miglia EVO 5 check out the this thread and you'll see some pictures of a GS with these wheels.
