Fellas:

It look like I will be getting a set of Symbolic 3-Pice Forged Series Wheels in Triple Chrome.

Probably going to go with 20 X 8.5 and either 20 X 9.5 or 10.

These wheels are genuine 3-piece with triple chrome and are FORGED.

Anyone have any direct experience with these wheels?

I am still deciding between a couple of models.

I'll post some pics for an idea - which one better?

PHML - Major Props on the Photoshop!!

By the way, it looks like I will be getting 255/35/20 all the way around (special situation).
Will I have rubbing ?
My car is dropped 1.5" with Eibachas and Bilstein combo.

Lastly, what offset should I go with so that it fits (no rub) and so that I have max lip?

Peace,

Ted

Ted, I like both of the sets; they look pretty sweet in the photoshop pics. If it were my choice, I would go with the SL-3 just because of the unique and aggressive look. I don't see that many wheels on a Lexus with the 5-spoke design like that

You see both wheels that I am considering up close here.

The SL-3 has kind of a Auto Couture look to it, very nice wheel. I'd go for either, man they both look nice.

I would not run a 9.5 or 10 on a 255 tire though, it will stretch ALOT and leave the rim susceptible to damage from potholes, etc. Also the 255 is a tight fit in the front of a GS, PM SoCalSC4 he has 255s and had to to some mods to make them fit, I believe.

That's what I was thinking they look like Auto Couture knock offs

Is it that big a difference for the front?

How does the 255 fit on your ride?

I love those wheels!!! They look so HOTTTTT!!!! Your GS looks awesome with them. I personally think the GS looks much better with wheels like that because the thin spokes tend to reduce the 'heavy' look of the GS and that to me means a more balanced look!

The first gen GS is a much larger car than the 2nd Gen, about 5in longer overall. It also has bigger front wheel well. I have plenty of room up front, but I dont think you could run a drop as low as mine (about 1.8-1.9) with 255s up front on a 2nd Gen

PM Bob (SoCalSC4) he can provide with all the measurements, depths, etc!

OK....im the lone wolf here....I like the SL-15....it'll show off your big brakes more.

The SL-3 looks like a stock Mercedes wheel.....and Im NOT into the MB look.

Fellas:

My tires will have to be from BF Goodrich.

They also have 245/40/20 and 275/35/20.

Will those fit?

Will they screw-up my speedometer?

I would say it would....but ever so slight....NOT a big thing....unless you want to have it re-calibrated for your peace of mind.
