Default Looking for new wheels

I would like to change the wheels on my 07 GS350 AWD but I need to be careful because it's mostly driven by the wife. What would be the best size wheel and tire,that looks good, for an AWD so that the wife wouldn't have any problems with potholes or changing the ride? The car is Pearl White so I was thinking of something in chrome maybe.

Well... I'd personally suggest sticking w/ stock. Why? Certainly not for looks but rather b/c they are easier /cheaper to replace (as in buying someone else's take-offs) if... errr... when your wife parks by braille or just gently "rubs" a curb. Plus you won't get as upset. Don't ask how I know...

I like this wheel and was wondering what would be a safe size wheel and tire combo that would still look nice on an AWD?

Check out Vossen wheels, here is a link to our wheel selection and feel free to ask any questions you may have here or in PM.

A +1 to 19s is a good step. We offer 19, 20, and 22" sizes and we are expanding our 19" selection.

Agreed!! Keep the wife with stock, better for everyone. My wife shakes when she drives my car cause she knows she'll catch a pimp slap if she curb checks my Vossen's!
