Default 18inch or 19inch rims with gfx kit?

Hey guys, just needed some opinion on what size rims to get that will look best with an all around gfx kit. 18inch or 19inch? The car will be dropped on h&r springs.

Rims i'm considering for these sizes are: bbs lm, vs-xx, ssr ms1 or mesh looking wheels

Any input would be greatly appreciated

19s for sure look the best on our cars especially if it's dropped, but 18s will give you better performance if that's what you're after

Speaking of gfx kit, has anyone been told that it is no longer being offered for the is350. I find this very annoying. If anyone has a link to find the oem gfx starfire pearl it'd be a great help.

Ya my dealer and his shop are apparently adamant that nothing is available for 2010, scottsdale lexus. I'm going to ask others then. They said it was available for 2009 but deleted for 2010.

Well I looked into this now with a couple dealers who have both contacted Lexus headquarters, and the final answer is that they stopped doing the full GFX with 2008. I've had a couple members on the forum tell me that they have access to them but these dealers have looked in their computers and talked to headquarters.. Lexus itself does not seem to offer GFX kits and so I have to get a 3rd party one and have them put it in.

They stopped making the old gfx kit because the bumpers were redesigned for 09+. There is now a new gfx kit, but it only fits 09 and up...
