You need "L" center caps!! Otherwise, it looks great!! Much better than the Lexus 17" rims.

What tires do you have on there??
 
Thanks guys - the tires are 265/65-18 Bridgestone Duelers, not my first choice in tires but they came as a package deal and are almost new so I'll keep them for awhile.
 
The new wheels look great! The GX470 should come standard with 18'' wheels. Notice any difference in the ride or road noise?
 
Is it just me, or dont the 18" LTD rims look like they have a lot of meat to them when they're on the GX compared to if they were on a 4Runner?!?!? Maybe my eyes aren't used to seeing them on a GX, but they look great Gatorgreg! :bigok:

Thanks! Don't forget that the tires are slighly bigger then what comes stock on the 18" rims (265/65-18 v. 265/60-18) so that may explain why the look a little meatier to you :)

Yes I agree that the GX should come with 18's from the factory. On Clublexus there are posts indicating that the '08 GX will get a "refreshening" to include optional 18" wheels.

Since the tires are the exact same brand and sidewall height as what I had on before (Dueler 265/65-18 v. Dueler 265/65-17) I haven't noticed any degredation in ride quality, in fact it seems a bit better probably cuz the tires are much newer. But since it sits a 1/2 inch higher now I would assume my skidpad score will be adversely affected :D

Oh now u mention it.... See I know my eyes weren't fooling around with me. :p

You know what, well this is just MY OPINION since I barely noticed the picture you took of your GX at the tire shop.... I dont know if it's really required or just my personal preference, and I dont know if the 4Runner guys do this also, but I always tell the tire shop (unless it's my Lexus dealership that's lifting my GX) to TURN OFF the air suspension... Idk... I might be toooooo obsessed about my cars, but I do it just as a precaution... :D
