Default Need Help Choosing Rims...

I own a 2001 GS300 PPG Rage Black with L-Sportline full kit... I let the car go for several years and have decided to try and fix it back up.

Ordering my BCR coilovers here soon. Thinking about running 245-35-20fr and 265-30-20rr... (Any tire size input would be helpful aswell)

Now some options on rims:
Pics are of 22" my opt. would be 20



On a 22's on a Camaro



Lowenhart are brand new in box size: 20x8.5fr 20x9.5 all chrome






The prices are about the same give or take 40.00 per rim.

These arent my final choices just some that I can get at a good deal.

T.I.A.

WTF?? Those Lowenharts should be at least 3 times more expensive compared to those Lexani wheels you picked. 20" Chrome Lowenharts easily run over a 1k a piece brand new. And you should run 245/30R20 and 275/30R20

if those were the only two rims you were looking at id like the Lexani's. They look nice to me. But if you dont 100% like them then i wouldnt waste money on them. What if you put them on your car and decide you dont like them.... Thats money just gone and wasted. And from what it sounds like if you are on a budget like me and dont have money to waste i would hold off save some money and wait till you see some rims that you truely do want. I have this picture on my desk at work just cuz im trying my hardest to save up some money so i can get these rims. I love the way my car looks on them but its gonna cost me at least a good 4 grand. id say save up.
