Default Intoduction and question on what wheels to rock on dd GS300

My name is Ron I have been a member for 2 months but haven't really posted anything. I bought my Diamond White Pearl Gs300 about 3 and 1/2 months ago, so far I have bought some Megan Racing springs and kyb shocks. I am now having a dilemma though as I got some is350 18" wheels and am not sure as to weather I should daily those or my stock 17's. I will also end up selling which ever ones I don't use and was wondering what the market value are for each set. Here are the pics and thanks for you feedback.

stock 17's stock height





stock 17's on megans



IS350 wheels (sorry for the bad cell phone pictures)

welcome to the family! there's nothing wrong with rockin' the stock IS350 18's. they compliment the GS pretty well. why are you not sure about rockin the 17's or 18s?

between the two, i'd stick with the 18s and get wheel spacers.

well the chrome ones make it look more classy and is350's make it look more sporty.

well to me the chrome ones make it look more classy and is350's make it look more sporty. Also what size wheels spacers do you recommend?

The stock ones with spacers look wayyy better than the IS rims.
