Default Recommed Me Some Wheels!!

I am having trouble find wheels that I like. I have a 2006 lexus GS flint mica color. I have looked at probably 1000 different wheels. I am looking for cast wheels about 2000-2500 for the wheel and tire package. I like flat spokes thick or thin spokes i havent decided yet. THanks for any wheel recommendations.

sorry Bro not feeling either of those styles?too much going on ...your going to ghettofy your GS

does that price include tires? C'mon spends some more for some good quality wheels
you wont regret it

I like those Avus wheels esp. the 901's but at 18 years old and going to school I can't afford to buy 6000-7000 dollar wheels....plus I need to buy a motorcycle for the summer.

Any more recommendations would be appreciated but most likely I won't be able to afford any type of forged wheel.

I do understand that but I want some wheels for the summer and can't possibly regret buying a set of rims that bad because i could always put the stock back on. Anyways im going home tommorow and going to take a look by the local rims and tire shops like xdc(xtreme detroit concepts) and dcc(detroit custom concepts) and Andreas Whell and Tire. If anyone is from the detroit area and has any experience with these places let me know.

Okay... I understand having a budget & all... but a new GS at age 18? Even a GS3 is, what, $46K+?

I was thirty before I could finally buy my USED GS4.
My advice: don't waste $ on bogus wheels, save the money for a downpayment on a house.

Ya please save for a quality wheel not something to just throw on the car. You have one of the nicest new cars on the road, dont ruin it.
And if you want good advice talk to D2AUTOSPORT he has wheels for all budgets.

Let me know

not feeling those that's the dub look.

You are rocking a new series GS.............and while you might not have the kind of money it takes for a multipiece or forged wheel...........why not go pre-owned???

with 2500 bucks to spend, I'd find me a great deal on a set of good quality slightly used wheels.

and even if they are not available today,,,,,,,,you just never know when they pop up
