Sorry if I've ruffled some feathers, but this is JMO. Bigger is not always better.

Even if 22's are a bit over the top, it shows why Lexus should forget the 17s they put on the GS300 and at least offer an optional staggered 19 or 20!!!!!

I'm interested to see what 22's looks like on the 3GS when Lexus launches in Japan, and all the VIP body kits for the car roll into production. With a kit.... I think the 22's will go fine.

Is anyone else beginning to get a little tired of the big wheel trend? I'll be honest, I do like the look (most of the time), but I think it's getting a little out of hand. Most family sedans now ride on 17" rims and most luxury, sports cars and SUVS are 18-20" and this is from the factory (OEM). I just think it has gotten to the point where you notice the wheels more than the rest of the car.
Anyway....I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I'm used to that. I personally think the OEM 18" wheels on the GS430 look damn near perfect and can't seeing ever going above 19" or 20" on this car, but that's just me.
