Some stock wheels look really good to me. I'm still considering a set of 3GS 18's or save and get some LS406 Work wheels.

I like it...but I love the GS design. I am beginning to agree with my kids, they say "go custom rims". Those rims do resemble the bmw style. As far as the drop....love 'um but they don't cut it in RI with our ****ty roads. I'd be in a constant state of panic with a drop. Do what you want!

No Answer to this question just yet Huh! I had asked this question a while back and the majority said go with a set of Tein CS's. I have 18's 8 F 9 R 32 off set and a drop is necessary to keep from that 4X4 look.

Either the size is off in the picture or you need bigger than 18's... or maybe a drop. I like the look, but the size doesn't seem to fit your wheel wells.
