I love the wheels, they are sweet. I've been noticing them a while now.
Over all, it doesn't look too bad on the car but I still think they are too big.
I'm on the fence about bodykits for the 3GS but in this case, a kit is absolutely necessary with wheels this big. Kits tend to shrink wheels and these need shrinking post haste.

Next Comes the wald Body kit, The wheels brought the car up too much, and I cant lower it any more than it already is. Hopefully that extra little bit will make the car look a little better.

Thanks.

They are color matched. Im running Pirelli 245/30/22 in the front and 285/25/22 in the rear. And yeah, I still got some rubbing. Major Mods had to be done to accomodate these wheels...

I completely agree, I've never been one for body kits, but in this case, I really need one, I'm not sure, but in my opinion I think the car actually sits higher than factory with these wheels, even though I lowered it. If I am not satisfied after the body kit, I will probably go with 21's and lower the cars a little more...

I was going to say that they are going to look ridiculously big but they actually look pretty good and compliment the GS pretty good.. I also think a kit is a must..

Hey, I've actually seen this car in person once. It was a late night at Denny's... I think I had my car with me, it was that or a white IS250 on AutoCoutures. Car looks nice in person, I always like the white wheels on a white car.

BTW if my car was there, it was a silver GS on 20" 360 forged wheels and it had a lip kit on. A picture is in my sig.
