I agree that aftermarket 18's look small on the GS, I do really like the 3GS OEM 18's like sleeper408 has.

here is a link to the article with the GS on 18's..

Yeah, thats the main reason I want 18's. Comfort and SUPER LOW.
Are those Supra TT brakes with Brembo stickers on the front?

i guess. personally, i went with DF210s for the same reason i went with 18s; wonderfully maintained michigan streets.

it's nice to not have to care about them that much. I do want 19s though...
the thing with 18s (or any wheels I guess) is that wheels that don't have the spoke go all the way to the rim make them smaller than the wheels that do have spokes go all the way (ie: BBS LM...especially w/ step lip)

^^^ this is the cleanest looking one out of all that's been posted so far. It might be the close up pic that make it look bigger than an 18 but it's probably the design. The spokes extending all the way to the end of the wheel.

The 18's do look a little small for the GS so I think to achieve the look of "rolling hard on 18"s" with aftermarket wheels you need to be dumped. But from the looks of it, people who have the 18's are geared more for the comfort aspect. So I guess dumping the car to the ground is out the window.
