It's amazing what a good set of wheels can do to enhance the beauty of a car. Your car looks lean and mean (not to mention HOT) with those wheels on.

What stopped you from doing chrome?? Those wheels get so many compliments. They keep saying "those must have cost a lot".. I just smile and say they look just right on the car though.

Congrats on the cool ride...I haven't seen a single GS in Kuwait with a decent set of wheels and there are loads of 'em here...I think it's time to start a new trend

Can I ask...if you're using 245/30 on the front and 275/30 on the rear doesn't that mean that the rear wheel is 1.8 cm higher than the front? Wouldn't it be better for example to go for 275/25 at the rear or a 245/35 at the front?

I'm not sure how having different wheel heights would affect the car's handling...

Cheers!

Alex

They love 'em here - they're all over the place. But I've never seen any of them pimped out so I guess not.

Soooo glad you didnt choose chrome rims!! Way cleaner look going with powdercoated or brushed wheels. If you get a chance post the wheel sizes and offsets like was asked before. The stance/wheel offset and size are PERFECT! exactly what im lookin for.

ride comfort plus toyo t1r's come in that size. as for the measurements I'm not sure. normal set up should be 245/30/20 fronts, 275/25/20 rears.
