if I could have any rim, it would be 19" iForged or HRE staggered with fat tire setup

living in NYC, I am stuck with OEM 16's....and I don't mind it


I couldn't give up this great ride for anything

I am going to a 18" Axis or HP Racing. As nice 19" and 20" looks on the GS, I feel they make the car look 4x4ish. And besides I can't tolerate the ride. Ridden several GS setup with the larger rims and just didn't like the ride. GoodLuck on the Poll.

I debated for a long time too about the 19" and 20" and finally went with the 19" iforged. Love them and would stay with the 19" unless I could get a deal on some 20" Work equips.

i have an ability to lower it 2.5" .. haven't done that yet.. for several reasons.. dont really like idea of lowering my car .. not just yet anyways.. in overall i think it's a great idea but not for my car though.. with 20" you kind of ride little bit higher so i kinda like that feeling.. and i dont need to lower my car 'cuz with 20" your car on the road like it was never before..

Either a set of HRE 840r's or Maya STM's in 19" staggered setup.

Too bad the maya's are discontinued and i can't justify the price of the HRE's because my GS is nearing retirement or i would go ahead and buy a new set or rims.

20" 3-piece forged triple chrome Symbolic Luxury Wheels.

I am looking for a buyer if anyone wants them with the tires.

Wheels and Tire combo has less than 2,500 miles on them.
