Nice looking wheels, lowering a bit will help the look. The only drawback I see to this and other similar styles of wheels is the amount of time required to wipe 'em down and keep them shiny. Lots of small, little areas you have to get into to get the general road slime out of. I think this is why I'll probably go with some sort of "spoke" style, large easy to clean surfaces. But damn..., that style of wheel does look good on a GS.

looks nice, mesh wheels are always a classy addition to the gs, but boy are they a pain to clean

Thanks for the comments. I know that the mesh style rim is a pain in the butt to keep clean, but I bought a brush that gets into all the little spaces (made by Meguires). It takes about 2 minutes per wheel...not too bad. As far as as the color of the gs it is mystic sea opalescent. Thanks again to all of you for the nice comments.
