I forgot to indicate the chrome and aluminum finish, the HRR would be a CHROME FINISH. If there are any other suggestions pls advise. Should I get rims with a lip or not?

I vote for the MRR (and OF COURSE my vote is totally absent of bias!! )

Honestly the HR2 was one of my favorite wheels from the minute I saw it in 20" on a lowered 3GS

I guess if you want lip then the GT1 is the best choice since it has a 4" lip in 20"

can anyone post a pic of the GT1 rims on a gs, possibly in 19s. and lowered as well. I will lower my gs a inch as well, with the L-tuned springs(wanted to go with lexus brand), don't want to go another route and mess up my suspension.
Please advise, if there is another route and one that will not mess up the ride quality!
thanks

I don't know if this makes a difference, I will be getting the Veil Side rear bumper and side skirts and adding a greddy front lip spoiler to my car.
Just to give it the right touch I will add a roof spoiler and finish it off clean with the JP tail lights.
ANY SUGGESTIONS??
