Default 19"/20", but not dropped - pics?

I want to get new wheels for my 07 GS450, but I don't want to lower it and void the warranty (6 years/100k mikes, currently @ 37k miles).

I have seen GS' on this forum w/ after market wheels and undropped and they are actually making me not want to do it.

I'm really interested in the Dolphin Grey Avant Garde 310s (my car is Flint Mica), but i'm really on the fence.

Anybody got any links/pics of 3GS' that look good on after market wheels on stock suspension?

Also, if it matters, I just ordered the VIS Racing ACT front lip, carbon fiber finish (Autocouture replica).

do you happen to have a side view picture of your ride, from the angles above, they look good, but curious to see how they look from the side.

the only thing they can void is your suspension warranty. if your motor blows up, they cant void your warranty because of the suspension. unless the dealer can prove whatever you added caused the problem then they have to honor the warranty

You can always lower it, swap them parts out if anything happens and not void your warranty. Working the system basically.

She's begging for a 2-3" drop!

Classy looking rims, it reminds me of the optional 20" rims audi offers on the A5
