Here is my Lexus GS430 I recently purchased. I bought some temporary XXR wheels 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear. The wheels will be on as soon as the Megan springs come in sometime this week! Let me know what you guys think!! :rockstar:

Welcome and very nice. Love the car and the rims.

What rims are you ultimately going to go with?

I appreciate the comments everyone. To answer some questions, I will go down the list.

The wheels I ultimately would like to have are some Work wheels bronze or gold with a polish lip. Staggered and 20's of course. Believe it or not, I was only on my 2nd transmission on that car. I loved it but I needed a new project. I got the GS430 for $11,500 with almost 100k. The paint and interior are all in pristine condition. The previous owners were ederly people who kept the car in an immaculate condition.

I wanted one of those TL's so bad back in 99-04. But the problematic transmissions that Acura ignored kept me from buying one.
