Default New GS300 owner needs help with wheels

I just recently picked up a white 2000 gs300. I am looking to put 20" wheels on it. Can anyone recommend a certain finish and brand that would compliment this car nicely. I hear alot about lip and no lip and staggered or non staggered. Just wondering what models you all would recommend since I don't know much about this. Thanks

There are lot of different options that you can do. If you post in the wheel and brake forum you'll have better luck!

My suggestions would be:

20 inch
Staggard and
Lip

everything else is up to you!

I see you are in Maryland. Whatever you do don't go and put some Ghetto big block chromes on the GS. Get some classy, I have 19's on mine due I personally think they look better than 20s. Where in Md are you? Get some quality wheels, talk to D2 in the wheels forum. He may still have some MRR on sale. And check NELOC subforum too.

Really up to you but I'd go with a


- 20 inch staggered

- silver or brushed aluminum face

- high polished or chrome lip.


Many choices out there. What style are you looking for? Five spoke, multi-spoke, mesh, ect.?
