Wheel shopping for my Lexus GS 350!!!

[@2kwik2c]

Good video. I’ve been following your channel. If you are shopping for wheels for your GS F Sport there are some things to consider. There are also some trade offs when you shop for wheels. These are look, form, function, and comfort. Stick with the 19s if you want to retain comfort using some thicker tires like in the 35 to 40 sidewalls. If you want look and slight comfort, go with the 20s. For the widths it will be 8.5 - 9.0 for the fronts and 9.5 - 10 in the rear. Offsets will be 33 - 40 plus. If you go crazy with the widths and offset, you’ll experience rubbing issues with your fender liner. Your car and mines are basically the same color and trim. Mine is 2018 F Sport with black interiors. I have WEDS Sport SA-25R wheels. They are 20 - 8.5 +38 front and 20 - 9.5 +38 rears. IMO, I have a perfect setup because I can drive my car harder and conquer tight turns without rubbing issues even with passengers, so I have all look, form, and function factors. Comfort is slightly compromised as I have RSR suspension and my tires are 245/35/20s all around. I’m around the Chino Hills area. If you want to check out my car, just let me know.

Ahh thank you so much for your insight. I'm going to pin your comment in case cause the info is soo good here. I might be doing a square set up. Idk how the handling will be affected but the wheels are only avail in square. Vid will be out on it soon :D

[@2kwik2c]

@EddieGS350 The advantage of having a square setup is tire rotation when they start to wear. Handling performance depends on the tires. I used to have Michelin Pilot All Season tires. They last longer and are comfortable. The drawback is that they are a little rough on imperfect roads, and you could hear a bit of road noise in the interior. Now I have Continental.Conact Sport. They're also comfortable, quiet, and grippy. I'm not sure about how long they last, as this is my first set. If you go with a square setup, get 9.0 width. However, you may want to put a 20mm wheel spacer for the rear just to bring it out a bit as it will look tucked without it.

ah this was hella chilla video man. For wheels I like Vossen and Avant Garde and Forgiato, depending on the price point. Cheers Eddie love your GS videos - Jeff with the GS2015Fsport

[@EddieGS350]

Ahh thank you!! It was chill checking out the store, glad you enjoyed it. I got the wheels, vid will be coming out soon :D

[@jericosunio9673]

They sell alot of the wheels as they are, some with tires so thats why they just leave it on there, also I recommend going for 19s, Im going for 19x11 rears and 19x9.5 fronts

[@EddieGS350]

Lol super aggressive :P Tbh I think w/ a fitment that aggressive you might need to add camber and roll fenders to fit. You got any brands in mind? :O

[@noahmonte8581]

Been binging your videos once I decided on getting a gs350. Got a 2014 awd model and im in love. Have you ever considered getting a cold air intake for yours? I just installed the takeda one in mine and man it roars, especially in combination with the borla.

[@EddieGS350]

Duddeee. I kinda want one! I got offered by a sub to buy one but I want to get wheels. And ofc thank you for watching. Never thought someone would enjoy all the vids 😂

[@Zfg.damian]

I love those work emotion wheels

[@EddieGS350]

Ohhh man. It’s a close tie between those and the TEs. I might go back. And bro I still can’t get over that short you made. Just seeing your name pop up made me laugh 😂😂

[@LexusLuvAffair]

I've got the exact same spec as you and just went through the whole process of searching for new wheels. I actually like the factory F-Sport wheels, but potholes have taken their toll, and two of them bent badly enough that they leak. 😡 I LOVE Volk TEs on the GS, but I capped my budget at $2k, so they were out. I landed on a set of Ferrada CM2s. They arrive tomorrow. 😬🤞😄

[@EddieGS350]

Ohh man, do you have an IG? Add me on EddieGS350, I want to see it!!!

[@LexusLuvAffair]

​@@EddieGS350No IG. Fitment Industries asks their customers to post up pics on their site, though. I'll probably try and put one up soon.

[@Mr_Odog]

I have to start using the Eddie Exclusive method at gas stations because these prices are absurd 😂 and i’m running Konig Heliograms. They’re Rotary Forged (About 70% forged I believe and they’re pretty light weight)

[@EddieGS350]

Ohh I actually knew what wheels you were running I saw your video on it like 4 times. I think it went something like if you don't like you buy me some Works. 😂😂😂

[@Mr_Odog]

@@EddieGS350 😂😂 still waiting on the works

[@andrewsalazar1006]

Nice video bro, looking at wheels rn too might go with Rohana rc7s on my gs

[@EddieGS350]

Ohh man those Rohana's look sick. The good thing about these cars is you can slap about anything on them and it will look good.

[@NotEchoes]

Damn. Ive taken a completely different route to build mine lmao. Did the taillights (probably first GS in LA to have 4IS style taillights) then got my ducktail thats coming in later today and next up is the diffuser / muffler set up.

[@EddieGS350]

brroooo! Let me know when you do the muffler. What you think of getting?

[@NotEchoes]

@@EddieGS350 very unsure as of right now. mainly oriented to cosmetic , ducktail came in today just want to find a shop to paint match it. next is diffuser.

[@wesleyjrharris8409]

I'm running 22" road force wheels on my 2015 LEXUS GS350 F SPORT

[@EddieGS350]

big boy wheels! I didn't even know you could run 22s. If you got an IG add me at EddieGS350 would love to see it cause that is huge.

[@Zfg.damian]

🔥🔥

[@ph0bolus]

I wonder what the markup is there compared to in Japan lol

[@jimrock187]

I would upgrade to 20inch rims. Tires are cheaper

[@EddieGS350]

After hearing Luis and this, I might do 20s! Is it less comfortable? and thank you for watching!

[@JosiahMamea]

LMFAO my girl always hated when i said i wanted a white on white setup 🤣🥲

[@EddieGS350]

hahah the truth came out. She didn't like the Advan's not cause of the style but because of the color. In the end she chose a similar style (TE37s) but in dark grey. Imma annoy her some more and tell her I am choosing the white Advans lmao.

[@ph0bolus]

I wonder what the markup is there compared to in Japan lol

[@EddieGS350]

It was a bit weird lol. Got some super good prices and some stuff like 10% off retail. You ever been to the one in Japan?

[@ph0bolus]

@@EddieGS350 no so bummed..we didn't get a chance to go to an upgarage or an autobacs. I wouldnt have been able to fit the stuff I wanted to buy back home anyway haha.
