Verone supplied the first pic, thanks
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ighlight=volks https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/da...oms_gs-med.jpg 19" Volks, staggered, Here it is chopped and lowered https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/da...d_gen_chop.jpg Gunmetal https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/da...meddropped.jpg Anyalsis: You cannot go wrong with Mesh on a new car, Mesh is a classic wheel design. Volk is one of the top wheel brands out today. |
NYlexus has added 18" Chrome Alessio wheels with 245/ZR40/18 wheels all around! Thanks for sharing!

A Lexus is one of the few cars that looks appropriate with tasteful chrome, like in this case. Depending on how thick/thin your spokes are, painting calipers may be another mod on the "to do" list, since you can see the stock calipers with thin spokes. |

YL06GS, may have done the most to his GS so far, we begin here, in the thread herem explains his TV in the headrest and additional DVD player setup
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=154730 https://www.clublexus.com/forums/att...id=63734&stc=1 https://www.clublexus.com/forums/att...id=63738&stc=1 Analysis: What can I say! He has the 2 DVD players so people can watch 2 diff movies in the back. Slick! And look at the glovebox setup, looks factory. Here, YL06GS adds the first 20" setup to the 3GS! https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=152633 Antera 20x9 front and rear. 255/35 20 fronts 275/35 20 rears https://www.clublexus.com/forums/att...id=62880&stc=1 https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/da...6069Wheels.JPG So here LasVegasGS chops and lowers his GS 1"drop https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/da...1inch_drop.jpg 3.5" drop https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/data/500/223203_5.jpg Finally, YL06GS also has 3m tint all around. Great work! Anyalsis: The 20" wheels look great on the GS, it really fills the wheel wells. This is another classic 5"spoke wheel, very thick so it hides the calipes well. The tint sets it off as well! |
highmiles, added his XM to his GS, and we have a sticky here
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=153669 https://www.clublexus.com/forums/att...id=63304&stc=1 Anyalsis: Great place to put teh box, looks stock and no ugly box on the outside of the car. |

I didn't have time to get all the stats for the wheel/tire setup. But the rear wheels are 19x9.5 +45 offset 5x114.3. The rears were wrapped w/Toyo T1-S 275/30YR19 tires.
IMHO needs to be lowered. https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/da...oGS_LE37T1.jpg https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/da...oGS_LE37T2.jpg https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/da...oGS_LE37T3.jpg https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/da...oGS_LE37T4.jpg https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/da...oGS_LE37T5.jpg More great wheels, Volks and a nice staggered setup. We can't wait for the spring kits to start coming so these cars can be dropped! |
ps - i used Suntek Carbon film, absolutely no metallic whatsoever and lifetime warranty against fading, peeling, etc. i wanted a non-reflective glare since the car is sparkly white i thought a reflective glare would be just too much. i had a bad experience with a previous GS using non-metallic tint on back and minimal metallic on sides (that's what the guy recommended), and the reception was SO bad. keep in mind that although the wires may be built into the *back* glass, metallic interference anywhere affects the reception sometimes. and NO, the tint is not that dark! my camera sucks and it is blazing sunny here today, so the contrast against the white car makes it look like a limo tint from that angle. it's actually a medium tint all around and you can see through it normally (in fact, if i had parked against the white wall as i did previously, the tint would have appeared much lighter).
