pls post pics of those with 18"-19" wheels with no drop
 
As the title states, please post pics of any 3GS with 18" to 19" wheels, staggered and non-staggered, with no suspension drop.

As I stated in my other thread, I intend to keep my GS300 for only 3 years (then maybe switch to a 4GS when it comes out???). I cannot justify the cost of coilovers nor can I find aftermarket dampers to match lowering springs, nor do I want to deal with any issues that may come up by lowering the car with stock dampers.

Therefore, I am thinking of NOT dropping the car anymore but just installing 18" to 19" aftermarket wheels. I know it can look kinda funny without lowering the car with those wheels, but I want to fully visualize it with pics.

Thanks for any help!

I think I understand why he wouldnt want to lower the car, all due to the fact that most of us AWD experience vibrations/wobble after lowering it. I feel the same way. I might just go with the RCA inserts to just lower the front a bit and get some 18s or 19s.

I in the search for some wheels too.

18' with do drop doesn't look funny, as it is OEM setup.

Why drop if you like the ride?

I have 18s on my AWD and I think it looks fine, but I am the type that find big drops actually look stupid never mind all of the downsides that come with it for actually driving the car.

This car is far too old for me to be concerning myself with aesthetics any more anyway, I just aim to make it keep running without any major costs for at least as long as it takes for EVs and infrastructure to become cheap and commonplace. :)
