Default Fresh New Wheels

So I got some new wheels put on this weekend. Pretty satisfied with them. Nothing complicated, just 20x8.5 +35 all round.

Now it just needs a drop...and a wash. What do you guys think?

I like the design of the wheels. A nice drop will set it off very nice.

No style in particular, more of the 'Damn, that's a nice a ride' kind of style. If I find something I think will look good, then i'll put it on, rather than only installing strictly VIP style stuff or something like that.

Yeah, I dont think sun roofs came standard on the GS's in Australia. Would have liked one stock, but not going to get one for the sake of it.

What's the significance of RHD with LED's?

I can't say that i'm a whole lot knowledgeable when it comes to wheel and tire dimensions, so what is the offset too high for, exactly?

Fair enough. I knew it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea but I like it, so I guess that's what counts.
