Wheel help!

Hi guys, I'm new here. After having my G37 S Sedan for 5 years I decided I needed change. Just got a 2013 Lexus GS350 (Liquid Platinum) and I'm thinking about getting a new set of wheels to get rid of these awful stock wheels. Definitely thinking of 20s with a drop on Tanabe NF210, but I'm torn on the color of the wheels. I have an idea already of what wheels I want, but I don't know what color would look better on my car. The colors I'm currently debating are Hyper Silver Matte and Gunmetal. I know I might be wrong, but after a lot of research I can't find a lot of liquid platinum GS's with aftermarket wheels.

What wheel color do you think looks best on the Liquid Platinum GS?

PS: If any of you guys have pictures of Liquid Platinum GS's with aftermarket wheels please post!

Thanks!

Any pics of the wheels? Someone here might be able to photoshop them in for you.

Congrats on the 4GS! You are not welcome until you post pics though!

This is mine on matte graphite Vossen CV7s. They match the rear valence quite well.

Here and here are a few other pics floating around. (Clicky)

Haaaa thanks guys! & I totally forgot about the picture! Velgen VMB5's are the wheels I've been looking at.

This is my GS the day after I got it.

By the way Seize I saw all your work on photoshop and it's awesome, but for some reason I feel like photoshop doesn't do some wheels justice.

It's understandable, not all wheels are going to look good, photoshop or not.

I can do the Velgens VMB5's on a silver GS just let me know and I'll add it to the thread I referenced above

Yeah man, if you have time... please! I would appreciate it if you did it in gunmetal and silver. Try to do it on the picture that you did the "ADV.1 model AVD05 Silver" on. Best angle I think!

Thank you!

I've been debating it. I just don't know if I want to deal with curbs everywhere I go. Btw your wipers are in snow mode. I'm pretty sure you're not going to encounter any snow down here lol. Just push down on the passenger wiper and it'll drop down into summer mode.

Really like your style! Nice G man. That first picture is classic. Great shot.

But for me the concave look takes the cake, but of course it all depends on what you like.

Appreciate the compliments, thank you!

I hear ya... Some of these concave wheels are beautiful. It does all boil down to personal preference.

Post pics of diff wheels you are considering as you come across various options. I'd love to see which way your leaning.
