Default What do you think

So i decided to go with the 03 black GS300 over the 98 GS300. I will be picking it up tomorrow and i already pre-ordered these rims last rim (RS1) http://renneninternational.com/listproduct.asp?series=5 . I am getting them with Nexen all season tires, painted calipers, debage of the letters, mounted and balanced, lugs and locks and tints if needed for $2200. Is that a good deal? What do you guys think of the rims and the tires?

Nice lip, i would have to see them on a GS to see if I like them or not.
As many have said on here before, if you like then get them, your opinion is all that matters since it is your car

Wheels are a little too much for me, just not my preferred style of wheels on the 2GS. I would also consider getting a set of lowering springs or coilovers added to your list.

Yeah guys i punked out ended up purchasing the 06 GS Chrome wheels to keep the stock look. They fit the car and keep it simple but somewhat sporty. Not sure if i need to drop it. Would love to give it a staggered look though.

Hey don't think of it as punking out, there's nothing wrong with a nice classy look. The rims you were thinking of looked almost like the late unlamented spinning rims, a look to be avoided at all costs.
