Robb,
You made a common mistake.. you asked for opinions. If you really want opinions, ask BEFORE you buy. Otherwise, buy what YOU like and don't ask for opinions. You know what they say, "Opinions are like a**holes, everybody has one"

i actually like them. definitely dont think they are trash, as others do. i guess its personal preference. 19's or 20s would be better though.........


your brother from another mother,

Doc

Thumbs up Thank you brothers...

*Ouch*, so the majority of my brothers dont like them?.. Im not offended. I wanted honest answers and got them, -thank you! Ive been contemplating on 20's. Everyone says there a horrible ride and that they are expensive to maintain. After reading all of your posts, im convinced its worth it to lose the smoothness and preformance and upgrade to 20's!..I like the style of the rims i have now, and would of got 20's but they only make them in 18's. But n-e-way, thank you guys, i appreciate it, and please continue to comment.,..........Your brother,..........robb s.

I am not sure if 20's would look good on that particular car. 1st gen GS300 is a very sporty looking car so 19's would be the highest I would go.

those rims dont look bad at all IMO, 19's are the most I think people should go with rims if they lower there car because bigger then that it looks like tractor wheels, but the rims match the car pretty nicely, ask people in person because through pictures u can't get all the walk around angles

19's are just perfect on the 1st Gen GS.

THe 1st gen GS's were offered in Europe with facotry 18's, 245 front, 265 rear, I'd do that with the EIbach drop.....

your rims are not my style, but I've seen worse.

here you go robb, i know they dont make them in 20's but maybe this will give you an idea of some 20's on your car.
