21 or 22 without dropping? doubtful no matter what .even with QUALITY profile tires you will get the 4x4 look. If you go with 21 and specially with 22 you will need coils for sure.

Bigger isn't always better. Just look at this guy who slapped 40"s on his car:
Ridiculously Large 40" Rims

i have seen both 21" and 22" they dont look anywhere near as good as a set of 20's lowered...

21's are ok
22's are to big.. even lowered they look huge.. no right 22's fit an S550 not a GS

I did 20" 360 Forged Wheels.

looks like rubber band retreads on a hula hoop to me.

I guess there are different styles for our forums.

Dub, Exe, VIP and none of the above....

On our cars...i think 20" should be biggest one should go...any bigger it starts to look like a 4x4.

I always thought 22's on the 3gs would look silly until my brother put a set of 22x11 & 22x9.5 MHT's on his.I have to admit it looked really nice and didn't need a drop and this is coming from someone who loves dropped vehicles..

I think you should get some staggered 20s and a drop..that would be nice.
