I personally think that 19 or 20 is the best......22's are too overly done.

i was in the same situation a few months ago. i decided to try out the 20s for now since the car will be lowered. if i dont like the look or feel they look to small then i'll move up.

i say start at 20s and if you dont like them, sell them and keep moving up til you find something you like. also keep in mind the style of the rim plays a part in what the wheel looks like. for example, a rim with a lip will look a rim size smaller because the spokes dont extend all the way out.

No matter what if you have the right drop 20's will look money. Unless you get some ugly *** 20's of course.

i think the GS looks it's best on 22s slammed, but I wouldn't do it to my daily driver.

That thing does look like a beast on 22's, but I personally think the best size is 21's, I've seen a guy on here run 21's on his 2GS (blue on D2 forged wheels) and I think its the sickest lexus out bar none, across the board and its lowered...so if your gonna do custom 22's, try 21's, and you can get a better drop, better ride, and more uniqe set-up...although its a lil pricier for the tires...

im def sticking with 20"s. ive seen it done both ways and 20" with the right offsets and a nice drop is the way to go hands down! that being said, both those white gs's are sick!! just not practical

the 21"s on the first pearl gs probably look HUGE rolling....those kind of 5 star wheels chop like crazy!.......they remind me of the giovanna casino's......if you remember those youve been in the wheel game for a while lol!......i remember the first time i saw the 24" casino's on a pearl '02 escalade.....i was like damn baller!!.....now those are a dime a dozen haha

They are definitely more expensive than 20's or 22's for that matter, but the look is hands down unique, and sets the car off. That being said, Im throwin 20's on my whip with a nice drop...
