D-Boi's Search for wheels!!

I need to find some wheels for the GS badly, i have once again caught the lexus bug. Im setting up this thread to post different wheels that i find and see what you guys think of them.

Here is a set of Moda R6's that i found, they are 5x114.3 which will fit but have a 45 offset. They were on a TL, will these stick out alot on the front?

If you're searching Seize's thread is always helpful.

If you've decided on the Moda R6, enjoy.

Too bad you werent local to MN. I have a set of 18 inch MRR HR5 with 114.3 x 5 bolt pattern. They too were off an Acura TL. ( No tires though ) but they would be lighter to ship if you were seriously interested. I havent listed it locally, but I should soon......LOL.

I have 19" moda's R6's in 45mm offset that I have used on my SC400 before I got my GS and now have them on my 3000GT. If you really wanted to see, I could probably find time to swap them on the GS to take a pic. They were always one of my favorite wheels.

I know you are looking at 18's, but let me know if you want me to put my 19's on the GS to show you what they look like. Like someone else mentioned also, I think there was another GS with them also.

IMHO, not a good look for the GS. That silver center hub against the black mesh just doesn't look real good. I think it makes the hub look huge and the mesh look busy.

I think the Modas are your best bet so far. Or you could just get some Works and call it a day!

if ur gonna get 18's... and around that price point... you might as well get 3GS 18" wheels. those will be better in the long run.
