Default Wheel decision

I can't decide between 20 inch Vossen's CV1 or K3 Projekt 1 wheels both staggered. To me the CV1's are classy and the K3's are aggressive. I have a 2010 Gs350 silver in color and I plan to only lower the car 1 inch using Tanabe springs. I guess my dilemma's are for the Vossens they are a safe pick but a little pricey and for the K3s will the rear 11.5 inch rim be a bit too much other words stick out. I know the offset that I need for the K3 and the rep stated I should be find. Also I'm not into the stretch look for my tires. This is the first time I have ever been indecisive about wheels.

Do you want to look more luxurious or more sporty? Since you said you want a conservative drop,CV1's fit the bill I think. If you want to lower it a bit more and look aggressive the k3's are the way to go.

I really like the way the CV1 looks on the GS. Good choice!

I'm about to buy the CV1s staggered. How do you like the look and "drive feel"? I'm going with the stock suspension and I still want a smooth ride. Can you post pics?

I put the CV1's on 2 weeks ago. They look great on my car which is silver so the silver CV1 are a classy look. I have 20's and the ride is pretty much like stock. I went with Hankook tires slightly noisier than the stock Michelins. I'm planning to lower my car soon with Tanabe NFsprings. What size wheels are you buying?

I got the CV1s on Friday. I really like the gunmetal look against my gray GS! But they put 235/35/20s on all around and I was wondering what size tire you put on?

Thanks! I'm glad they went with the 235/35/20s. It seems like the most sidewall for 20"s.
