Talking Have my new GS350, now time for upgrades!!

Hey guys,

Just bought a silver 07 gs350, so far, have tinted windows, and put on chrome grill. Have pics throughout the process and will post before and afters of those shortly. Long story short, ordered my wheels today!! Went with these http://www.dcrwheels.com/wheels.html# the Hockenheim's.

Went all chrome to keep the theme going from the chrome grill.

20/9 front
20/10 rear
3' lip for rear
2' lip for front

Nitto 555
Fulcan fk452
245/30/20 front
275/30/20 rear

Still debating on which tires....any thoughts?
Also, anyone have thoughts on what exhaust is best? looking into that aswell and want to get it all put on at one time.

Thanks!

Congrats on oyur new GS...can't wait to see your wheels on your ride...I hear the Falkens are a great priced tire...Nittos in the past I've "heard" weren't all that. Are you going to install some coilovers or springs...it'll look killer dropped....especially if you're rolling staggered 20's.

Hey BKE, yeah am debating that as well, if I do it I will do a less agressive drop, probably go with the Tein H Techs...

Congrats on the car and welcome to 3GS ownership. Like the choice of wheels. I can't wait to see them, I don't know anyone who has them and I've always wondered about their quality. I don't like your choice of tires. Some say the Falkens are okay but I've never met a Falken I liked so I swore them off. But, they could be improved. Definitely wouldn't do the Nitto 555. They are hard, loud and burn up fast. If you want to try Nitto, get the new Invo. I have a set and they're okay. Not the best but okay. On the other car I have Bridgestone RE960's and I like them. Too early to really know but the ratings were excellent on www.1010tires.com
Where in Fl are you?
