Question

To everyone:

I have a budget of up to $3,000 that I am willing to spend on 19" Wheels and Tires for my GS 300.

I am preferably looking for something new.

Would ideally like a 5 or 6 spoke wheel but open to ideas and would like them to nbe a 2 or 3 piece wheel with the rivets (bolts.nipples).

Only looking for Silver color and really want a polished lip.

Would ideally like to go 8 or 8.5 " in the front and then 9.5 or 10 " in the rear BUT I AM VERY OPEN TO GOING THE SAME SIZE FOR ALL FOURS.

I have been looking and everyhting that I really like is either over $3,000 for the wheels and tires or they don't have a good size lip etc.

I am looking for somehting sporty/race like & also classy as this is a Lexus.

CAN YOU GUYS GIVE ME SOME NAMES OF WHEELS AND SHOPS I CAN CALL ON. I have searched everywhere and just can't seem to find something I like.

Thanks for your help in advance.

www.wholesalewheel.com/dornell.htm - I saw a package deal for the type I in an advertisement for right under $3200. Maybe you can work something out if you like them.

Default General Ride Quality...

Guys with 19s,

How is your ride quality with the 19in wheels? I noticed with the 19s my ride is rather stiff and the road noise is loud as compared to 18s. I had to set my Tein HA's to softest. My setup is 245/35/19 in the front and 275/30/19 in the rear with Yokohama AVS Sport. Sometimes it feels as though I've sacrificed looks over comfort (and minimal road noise). What are your experiences?
