Default Foose wheels on GS???

I kinda like this wheel, in black with a polished stainless lip in a staggered fit.I think in 20x8.5 and 20x10 on a black gs the would look good.What do you guys think???

Not sure how it would look on any Lexus car but ithose wheels would go real good with the new mustang along with a number of American muscle cars of the 60's and early 70's

Totally agree with the above statement. I also think that the Foose design is catered towards the Hot Rod type cars.

But at the end, it's your ride and what ever makes you happy is what you should do.

You can also try making a request in the Photo Shop forum to have some one PS these for you on your ride. This would give you a better idea. Good luck.

I've seen these on a mustang and i love them. They are also reasonably priced and just have a really nice look. Great 3-piece alternative.

the black should look RAD.

They'll probably look very good. I believe those particular wheels were designed by Chip Foose for his "Eleanor" mustang project, and from there went into regular production.

I like the overall look and the small center makes the spokes look long. That said, the lugs just seem to stick there...a recessed lug hole would IMO smooth the look out.
