What's up everybody...I recently bought an 08 GS 350 with about 73k on the dash. She came with 18" Gspider wheels and I'm pretty satisfied with them, BUT I am considering going with something bigger. Not really into the full tuner look (bags, drops, cambers, body kits, etc.) but i do want to customize her. Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

TONS of threads on here you can browse around on, but a lot of people go with Vossen wheels, and for good reasons. Go look at their lineup of wheels and see what looks best to you Try googling "Lexus GS Vossen wheels" to see a bunch at once. I personally wouldn't go over 20", but that's just my opinion. Will need to drop the car a bit to make them look right, perhaps 1" or so.

I'd recommend taking a look at Vossen wheels, as well as Avant Garde. They both offer clean styles that look great on the GS

We just did a set of M590s on a GS in the same color as yours which turned out fantastic!

I've seen a lot of GSs on Vossen wheels, and they look great I just wanna stand out from the crowd. having said that, noone in my area has Vossens on a Lexus (that I've Seen) so I would stand out around here, but the selection is so limited that I see a lot of rides on CL with the same or similar styles.

As far as going bigger, the streets here in central MS are worse than terrible, which is why I am unsure about changing wheels at all. I wanna see how well the factory 18s will do on these streets before I drop some change.

Closest I have is a pic of a black GS on Dolphin Grey (gunmetal) M310s

We have a long and great history with this platform. Here are some pictures to show some different setups on the 3GS.

Oh my, those VOSSEN wheels - hell, the complete setup on the white car is stellar. I think I could spend all day just looking at GS pictures and mods. Keep up the good work!
