Default L-Tuned and stock 16" on GS300

Hi Comrads,
Does anyone have pics of an L-Tuned GS300 on stock 16"s. I intend to upgrade to 18"s eventually. Just trying to figure out which mod to do first.

Cheers-

Default Really depends

I have mounted my factory 16" s with my L-Tuned package and it doesn't look great, but it's not horrendous either. THe main thing I noticed is that my 16" s tend to be set in more, so when looking at the car from front or behind the wheels don't "look" wide enough to fill the wheel wells. My 17's correct it very nicely and fill that additional 1-1.5" of width. It gives the car the look of a wider stance. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics of GS with the 16s and L-Tuned, but if you want to wait until this winter I will.

If you get the 18's first you'll be dealing with the fender gap instead...also there is a money difference in what you can afford to do now, wheels will be more expensive. Also, depending on your rim choice and life cycle of the rim if it becomes discontinued you may be kicking yourself for not getting it when you had the chance.
