I personally love the way these look. I've gotten great feedback from everyone so far. now is ClubLexus test time.

1/2" lip on the front and 2" lip on back. They have a great clean look I think.

Wheels do look good on the car. I would have maybe gone with 20's but nonetheless the wheels flow with the car!

hmmm...I'm going to say that you shouldn't lower but instead go with a higher profile tires. This is one of the cleanest look ever. Of course you can always lower it and it would still look good

Looks good, the wheels look like they belong on the car. It does not even looks like it need to get a drop. Ohh yeah nice color, I see few GS with that color in ATL

Thanks! I think if I went with a 20 it would have looked a little too big and taken away from the overall apeal these rims give the car. I am thrilled with how they turned out. Ride quality is great too!

Thanks again!

Yeah, I'm considering keeping it at the current highth. It looks good in person and locals are telling me not to lower it. We'll see. I already ordered the springs though.

rims are definitely too small. it's really an illusion, because the big round backend makes them look small.

people want to see bigger. like.........
