Default Lexus GS on 22 inch Vossens

Hey guys I just got my 22" rims installed I want your opinion on what I should do? Should I keep them how they are or should I get the face painted the same as the car and leave the chrome lip?

bada** vossens... but I would've done 20s as well.. i had 22s on mine before, felt like i was in a 4x4 lol.. you can pull these off, but would definitely have to do some fender, camber work and slam it....

But I would leave them as is, not paint em

Paint the face and lower your car an inch. Looks pretty big. It looks good though.

If you paint the faces the wheel will look smaller. I like the look, maybe just remove those chrome door handles.

I love those wheels but 22" is waaayy to big for a GS. Why do you want your car to look like a Caprice or Monte Carlo?!? AWD should not be 4x4 on a luxury sedan.

The wheels are awesome, but those 22's make your car look like a horse carriage!

I think the wheels look great. But, why spend 5+K on a wheel/tire setup for a car you'll have less than a year?

to pull off the 22" shoes look, you need to be slammed.
