Default rims

i'm trying to get rims for my gs350
i was thinking between the Gianna momentum (http://www.hotchromerims.com/Gianna/Momentum-32.html) or the Double G 105 (http://www.streetdreams.org/wheels/r...%20Black%20Lip)

basically..i was thinking about getting 20x8.5 with 5x114.3 bolt pattern and a 35 offset

would this work? or what would u guys suggest?
and which rims u think looks better on the GS (black on black w/chrome grills + side panels)

I am not sure of offset and fitment ( dont fully understand ) . Of the two I would go with the gianns if they are your final choices . If not annd you are still confused as far as picking a wheel style, I would suggest going to cardomain.com and looking at the hundreds of GS's there and seeing for yourself what you like. I dont like shooting in the dark when picking wheel styles. You can also goto D2 web site they have alot of lexus pics there as well. Good luck

offset is ok, the front is close to the fender but the rear is weak unless you go staggered

i wouldn't choose either one. it's personal preference, as long as you like it

is your car AWD or RWD? if its not AWD i would suggest going with a staggered setup..ie 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the rear, neither one of those wheels is really my style but buy whichever one makes you happy..in the end that is all that matters...if you are on a limited budget check out sevas or MRR, also the wheels classifieds often has very nice quality wheels at good prices

Not for the GS, I think for the money you can get something better

I was going to say the same thing. Look into other 1 piece wheels, they are pretty cheap. I hate it when people put on shiny "dubs" that look like they belong on a dodge.

the wheels arent the greatest i have seen... in my opinion. if you asked me you would be better off with a different set! or even the stocks!! maybe even 4 spares! but its your choice..... either way you got a nice car already.

im still on stocks! i am having a hard time too! its not as easy as i thought it would be.
