First off, welcome my cinnabar brother! Cinnabar rules ALL colors Well, im with most here. Not a fan of your current rims, or 22's on a GS unless its slammed on air. Most vip vehicles go with 20's max. Good luck on your project. See my sig picture and 2nd mod on the list for a hint on your next mod

If you decide to stick with 22" wheels, upgrade the brakes. They look like CDs behind those wheels.

Thanks for comments...

j stuff I dont think ya could handle hearing all my life problems. Dont wanna send ya to the loonie bin! lol

EN_VY I have been looking into air, she doesnt wanna spend the money, but I told her its only way she can keep 22's...so we'll see. You satisfied with your air? I was thinking of trying the K-Sport package if she decided to go air? I didnt realize the cinnabar was a "rare" color until after we got the car and did some searching. That was main reason of the post really to show off the Cinnabar! lol

I don't think 22's and coils sound right or would work? Get some 20's and do it right.

Pretty satisfied. Well, since its HER car there is nothing much you can do. Why won't she join, so we can convince her? Cinnabar is an awesome color. The way it shines red/orange in the sun makes it nice! Enjoy your stay

the rims aren't my cup of tea..., but if you like it go for it.

if you're planning to drop your ride with those 22.... I think you will need to do some fender bending and cambering as well.

Welcome to CL. Keep us posted on your mods.

it does work to an extent lol. i had 22s on my 3GS with coilovers. wheels were just too big and looked more like lowering springs because i couldnt get it as low.

man...i don't understand why people hate on different things. She bought the car like that, DONK, doesn't mean she is gonna keep it that way! It's her car anyway. I can already tell most you people see the glass half empty. I see endless possibilities on this car. Solo, I'm sure you're gonna make this GS even hotter.
Next time people preach about "No Copy", won't yall add "No Hating".
