Are you getting those wheels in 19s or 20s?

I think I'm going to stay with 18"s so I might have to get another style of wheel.

Chicago land has brutal roads. I know of three members with lowered and 19" rolling GS's that have had to have rim repairs in my area alone.

I did just find 18" RX350 wheels. That Luder94 said would look great on it.

For those style of wheels, i'd recommend you go with at least 19". 18's would look too small on our cars especially with the thick 40 series tire.

If you are set with going with 18's, i'd probably go with anything OEM 18x8.

G spiders look pretty good too. They are mesh similar to the Tenzo you had in mind.

The GS looks flawless and the drop is perfect . I vote for the G-Spiders, you can't find a better match for the GS, especially in a 18" application.

Also. The JP wing is gone on Monday. You all are hilarious, I got a bunch of PMs on it.
My vote is by far the Tanabe Touring

I like the G spider, ever since I saw them on Mike's 3GS. He's even got two extra ones to sell right now.

As long as I dont go crazy, and do what I'm doing piecing parts together. I'm okay. She wont let me get another motorcycle. So I will have to get my speed fix from this thing.
