looking good. In due time you'll get new wheels, but at for now, you have a clean looking GS (which even stock looks sweeter than a lot of the new model luxury sedans in my opinion).

Wheels will come in time. Actually that has to be one of the most difficult choices to make. There are so many nice wheels and finding that one set to match your choice in style is not easy. Take your time. You one clean and fresh GS
