As long as they are decent wheels that have some durability then I say go with them. Don't spend $3,500 etc on wheels and tires only to expose to the same streets everyone is driving on and there fore the same potential for scratches and etc. Then after being scratched, nicked etc they have lost there value.. I don;t see the reasoning in spending huge somes for wheels/tires but like hey do whatever makes you feel comfortable.

Ive pondered the idea of getting these too, as they would be more practical for me as my GS is the daily driver...I could be wrong, but I thought I also saw these in a gunmetal type hyper black finish???? I could be wrong though....

Thanks. looked like a lot of lip to clear BBK
I agree, why buy high dollar wheels if you can find something you like and they are durable for less $. Leaves more $$ for more modding.
