yeh,i would sell the 20's.imo,20's are too big for the 1GS'.id personally go with coilovers instead springs.just so you can adjust it to the perfect hieght.unless air suspension is in your budget,then thats definetly my choice.

I don't get that... 20s are too big for the 147?
It's 5" longer than the 161! My bro has 20s on his 147 and I have 20
on my 161 - both cars look great, and in proper proportion.
Frankly, my 20s are looking small to me these days. I may go 21s next set.
20" on the 147 just needs proper tire size and lowering.
19s at stock height arguably look WORSE than 20s do!

first off that color is BALLIN, and major props on the cleanliness of your GS
second, if a smooth ride is what your after, you cant beat the stock wheels with some big fat Michelins (its like driving a cloud
), but most people don't like the way that looks, so i would compromise with some 18"s or 19"s and some HIGH quality tires, you can stick with chrome if you want, but keep it classy, polished wheels always look great on this car, and black is awesome when done right.
staggered is also a great thing if you've got the cash
