I am in the market for 19" Wheels for my GS 300.

I am considering both the AT Italia Riva from Tire Rack (see attached photo) as well as the new Zenetti Mystik.

What do you guys think would look better on a Black GS w/ a 2" drop (due to my H&R Springs and Bilstein shock combo) ?

Thanks for the input.

PS. Any other wheels I should consider in the 19" size?

My total budget no more than $3,000for wheels and tires.

Depends on what look you are going for. The Zenetti is available also in chrome. If you want the flashy look, go with the Mystik chrome. If you want the more refined or racing look go for the other. Just a note - I called Superbuy Tires last week about the Zenetti for myself and they said they were on a 30 day back order.

ted - a 2" drop is pretty radical, but will look great. That wheel looks sharp too!

I looked before at wheels on tirerack, but the way the site suggests sizes it doesn't present any staggered setups (wider rear rims). Have you considered a wider rear set? 8.5's on the front and 9.5s on the back look great (fills out the rear wheel well especially nicely).

Default RIvas?

Why not get the real thing? Racing Hart C5's?

RacingHart C5

Get a 19x8.5 in the front and a 19x9.5 in the rear...

245/35 for the front, 275/30 for the rear

Here's a picture of a GS with 19" C5's...

GS300 w/19" C5's...

Personally, even though I like Racing Hart and the C5, that style is SO PLAYED OUT. It's been knocked off by a thousand companies (like ATP)...but then again, it is a classic (like the C2) and I suppose so long as you have the real thing and not some cheezy knock-off, it's still pretty cool...
