The wheels look SWEET!! I like the color with the polished look. What drop is that? and what size tires did you decide on? THANX

I didn't measure the drop but it is about 3" front and 3.5" rear. I'm using JIC coilovers the car still rides nice because I still have full suspension travel. These coilovers let you lower the body of the shocks (most coilovers you lower the the car by lowering the spring-which mean if you lower the car 2" you lose 2" of travel at the same time). I went with the TOYO Proxes F24 because that was the only tire my buddy can get a deal on. I'm using 245-40-18 and 275-35-18.

Nice Wheels! I agree with Lexus_IS300 about the size, but they do look good! Some great QUALITY wheels...love the finish!

And it's nice to see some people doing up some first generation GS's! Still a GREAT looking car!

How much did your JIC's cost you and which one did you get (SF-1, FLT-2, FLT-A2)?

those are really really nice!!!

one suggestion, if you have coil-overs maybe lower the front .4inch more and raise the rear about .2inch

on second thought maybe the front just .3inch
