Default Help with Wheel Choice-BBS, OZ or JDM Lexus

Do you guys like this (18X9), weighs 22 lbs.




OR

(18X7.5), weighs just north of 18 lbs.



This is going on a silver GS. Thanks. I'd also consider the 18 inch Superleggera.

OZ's in 18", also you should make a post in the photoshop forum so you can see these different wheels on your car

IMHO, a 7.5" wide wheel is just too narrow for the GS... doesn't look aggressive enough for the size of the car.

I really like the color of the JDM Lexus wheels! what color would you call them is it just machined alloy with satin clear coat. what ever it is it looks hot.

Go for the JDM wheels. The BBS wheels are old school . Their designs are old and look very similar. The OZ's are too , thats too many spokes on a GS.

That's what I originally thought but get a load of this photoshop. The OZ's look better than I expected plus I'm saving four pounds a rim~112lbs in practice.

After seeing the picture I change my vote from JDM to OZ. OZ looks great. BBS makes me think of AUDI.
