Default one more pic request before i go buy rims.
Okay so I have an 02 gs300. Its lowred on tein coil overs and I am looking at some rim choices. I narrowed it down to bbs lms or hre 540r. I am planning on getting 20s. I've seen the lm's already but haven't seen any hre 540r's on 2nd Gen's can someone please help me.

Is it just me but do the bbs lms look a lot better than the hres? I love the hre on my m3 but on the gs it doesn't look right.

I'm partial to the BBS myself and it's not because of the step-lip. I prefer the flatter spoke profile of the LM's as opposed the bowed/curved spoke of the 540R. That's not to say I don't like the 540R, they are beautiful wheels, I just like the LM's more, that's all

I like the 540's... They would look good on the GS for a spoke design wheel.. GL

Hmmm...good question. Although I'm not 100% sure, they look like 19"s to me.
