Default Gunmetal Wheels on a White GS?

I really am feeling the SSR competition wheels in gunmetal. I don't think anyone on this board has em on a white GS, only silver. What do ya'll think? TO JDM looking, to racy looking, should I have a turbo for these wheels?

I still want my car to look classy, not totally racy. But the M3/M5 have that shadow chrome?

Just a thought.

Gunmetal would look good, it might too aggressive for other peoples taste and say it doesnt belong on a lexus, but I say be an Aggressor!

Default Sick:

I checked out the SSR wheel. Although it is light weight, I don't think it compliments the GS well. Not classy enough. Looks like it should be on an autocrosser.

I think you are on-point with the color though. Manufacturers use the term "gunmetal" for a range of colors from dark, flat charcoal to a shiny, metallic grey (like the BMW's). I prefer the latter. It's not silver and not chrome, but somewhere in between.


Here's what I've got my eye on:

not sure of what those look like, but i do like those rims cyclemax posted above...the thing on hyper/gunmetal is it takes on the color of the car to almost blend/complement it....trust me, they look different on the car once mounted [not those riceboy gunmetal/all black rims] but the classy rich bimmer flavor as posted above. Very nice...just make sure they have nice lips

I am seriously flirting with this idea, I don't think ANYONE in Atlanta has this combo on any car. Thing is, I would miss the lip.

About the same as the rest of the non-forged 3-pc 19's. Upper 2000's.

yeah hey sick speaking of suspension, you ever get your Springs installed? I wanted to see how good of a drop, I wont be reunited with my car until Sunday, so Monday or Tuesday I'm gonna go get my rims/springs installed.

BTW i was thinking eventually maybe I might go up to GA since there are so many CL members from there. GA is only like 7 or 8 hr drive.
