Just got the L-tuned GS430!!!
02 L-tuned GS 430...Black on black...Navi...Wood wheel and shifter...Mark Levinson sound...L-tuned suspension, grill, spoiler, and exhaust...L-tuned 18"mesh wheels...This car is so phat compared to my ragged out TL type S...I was on my 3rd tranny and I hate acura...My gs shifts and rides so damn smooth...I can't wait to get rims...My question: 19's or 20's.?..Also, which rims have the most lip: Maya DTM, DTS; Zauber Gettins; Lowenhart LD5; or Work euroline LS.?..please give me some insight and what you prefer on deep dish rims...I will have pix up soon...Shyne

Welcome to ClubLexus Shyne and congrats on the new ride! You've got some nice taste in rims in your lineup 
I believe you have another screen name on CL and you can only have one Shyne8193
Let me know which one you want to keep please.

I personally prefer 19 to 20s for the perfect compromise in looks and ride quality, but most will tell you go with 20's for the full effect
. Of those you listed, I like the split spoke Maya (remindes me of the Lowenhart BR-5) and the Lowenhart LD5 best. Others are great, you'll go wrong with none of them.

no i haven't ill have to check them out for sure...are they fully forged rims.?..im concerned w/20's because i know there couln't be that much cushion for blows on crappy roads...my factory 18's look like they don't really have room for 20's but i don't know...ive always wanted the deep dish 20's for some odd reason...maybe because they look so goooood...Shyne

yeah the hre is definitely pricey (tell me about it), iforged is actually very good, you should consider them. look into the vendor forum and see the info. i know D2 autosport in person, so if you need any info let me know ok? i can vouch for him.
why i sold my volks? hehe, they were getting old, *only* 19s, plus i got a "killer" deal on the hre. knowing i can only ge this chance not too often, i decided to jump on it. and since i want to make my gs4 a vip car, i think it worked out well
good luck with your car man. clublexus is a cool family, ask anything you want
and keep in mind, don't get chessy, spend the money hehe

Welcome to the Club.
J_Rok those are just absolutely beautiful. Are they Hypersilver w/ a polished lip, or Hypersilver all the way around?
Shyne: I have the Dronell's in chrome and they are awesome! If you want to see what they look like on a black lex, check in the gallery and look at JacobT 's car. Very nice!
