Default GR5 on 3GS

I'm thinking of taking the Maya GR5's off my SC and put them on our 3GS. Just wanted some opinons. The GR5's are very sweet imo but they are very sporty. The 3GS is more of a luxury car. Do you all think this will look alright? They shouls fit fine. The specs are 19x8.5 44 offset front and 19x9.5 41 offset rear. They are perfect for the SC...and should be since they were custom built for it. I think they will ride equally as well on the GS. What do you all think?
Here's a pic of one (the lips on mine are not nearly that huge, I wish they were though).

120 views and no opinions. Can anyone tell me why...I don't want to speculate...it won't be nice.

I think they are on the sporty side. I am in favor of thicker more agressive
looking spokes. The Mayas look too much like the Volk GT-C to me, so I am
not too fond of the design.

Then again, I can't figure out what I want to put on my car, so I may not
be the best person to ask

I think they would look superb. One you cannot go wrong with a classic 5 spoke, 2, great quality rims. I think it would look great. With a drop

I AGREE with 1SickLex - Great rails for a GS, sporty with just a touch class. The round rivets along the diameter of the inner lip keep the rails from overboard sportiness.

Hey Justin. Why weren't you at the JMLexus meet? If you were I must have missed you. My mom was in the hospital and I didn't hang out much. Nice you have the 350. Can't wait to see your ride with GR5's on it. Did you get chrome or silver. We should get together for GR5 twin pics.

Mom's okay...she had surgery, a minor procedure to insert a device to make her heart work more efficiently. There was no cutting involved. Amazing what medical science has become.

I take my wheel work to Goodroads in Ft Laud on Commercial Blvd. They'll hook you up. Ask for Dave, tell him Reggie sent you and ask for his "brother-in-law" pricing. I've been around there so long they call me one of the family. In fact, my G35 is there right now getting wheels put on.
