Default Suggestions on wheels. PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE

Hello club lexus members
I would like to have you guys comment and suggestions on wheels.
I have 08 gs350 AWD and this is wheel that I would like to buy it.
I know everyone has different taste of wheel, such as look, size and colors but what do you think about this one?
It’s verde Kaos wheels, I want to buy in 20 inches.
Oh yeah, color of my car is Dark Gray( Granite Mica?)
Thanks.

personally i like 5 spoke wheels better so i'm not too crazy about the wheels you chose. BUT it's your car so you should put on whatever you like. i think 245/30/20 size tires will work. i'm getting continental extremecontact on the rims i've ordered. and i hear hankook ventus v12 evos are good too.

Thank you gridlock13 I was thinking about Hankook Ventus V12 but people saying that tire wears out too fast.

summer tires are softer so if you want longer treadlife then you can try putting on all season tires. the hankooks aren't made in all seasons so you'll have to get a different tire then. i've heard a lot of good things about the continental extremecontact dws so maybe that's another good choice?

+1. I agree, its best you decide what you like. I do like the the mesh look, but not sure how they look on the GS though. But I dig the deep lip rims. Good luck on rim choice, I can't wait to see what you pick out.
