Haha.. I disagree. The more and more I look at that GS, I like it. It looks damn good. The owner was smart and got black rims that wouldnt be as much as an eyecatcher as that hideous RL. The brakes on both those cars look like jokes!!

Well, OK...the second car.....the white GS with the black wheels....doesn't look as outlandish as the other two. But the black RL and the second white GS have wheels that IMO come from a freak show.

Godam someone slap me so i can wake up cause this is a nightmare. Why would anyone even bother trying something like that on a piece of **** like the RL (mad cause car n driver gave it second over the GS430). Off roadin RL that SH will help.

Off Roading RL!
The RL does look worse because of wheel fitment and choice of wheels.
If I saw those same rims on the GS than I'd say they'd both look like crap.

GS looks good with the 22s. Those wheels on the GS are really high-end 3-piece gforged and the color goes beautifully.

The RL is an ugly car with ghetto garbage hello I have absolutely no-taste wheels.

22s look ridiculous on the RL and just a bit over the top of on the GS.

Given they don't look too crazy on the GS it shows why Lexus needs to step up and offer bigger factory wheels and better fitment.

that RL looks like its floating (you can do an oil change on that thing without even jacking, and still fit under there with a creeper ) but the GS dont look that bad i think

I dont particularly like 22s on either car. The RL looks absolutely horrible with 22s. They dont fit that car at all and they ruin the whole look. I think the GS looks ok with 22s, but looks much better with 20s.
