Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Yeah!!!
My wheels came in today, and I was like a fiend for a hit; A fat man in a buffet line; A kid opening a new toy! Basically, I could not wait to mount them up onto "TXSTYLE". People all I can say is, " :eek: :eek: :eek: !!!" And there is ample amounts of room for whichever Big Brake uprade I decide to go with. I mean words do no justice to the overall appearance and look that my car has now! It was well worth the additional two (2) weeks I indured shipping them off to Cali to be chromed! With all the phatt rides here in D-Town, I'm extremely pleased to know I'm rolling on "One Of A Kind" wheels. ******, actually I haven't even seen anyone rolling the regular silver ones. Oh in case anyone is wondering what the hell I'm talking about........ Custom Chrome Moda R6 - 19x8 & 19x9 wrapped in Toyo Proxes T1-S - 245/35/19 & 265/30/19. Pics to come soon................:eek: !

They've actually been around for a while. Nothing too high $$$ or anything, just "Very Simple & Very Elegant." I have been researching and looking for wheels well over the past 4 months or so, and these wheels met several if not all criteria I needed: (1. Obviously good looking. (2. Uncommon (3. Would not wear on me, (after a year or two I'm tired of em') (4. Would look just as nice on the next generation GS. (5. Reasonably priced!!! At "my cost" came out to @ $450+ a wheel. But boy do they have the impression of 2 to 3 times that per wheel! You can hop over to TireRack and check em' out.

Yes, they actually resemble the factory optional 17' for the GS 400. I have a chrome set that came with the car. And everytime I see a GS rolling with them, it looks real nice! Again, as I stated earlier, I must have surveyed 20 or so wheels, and narrowed it down to all but @ 5. Oh another criteria for me, I'm not too crazy about wheels w/ a large surface area. Don't get me wrong, I like several wheels from Lowenhart, and my barber has a 01' S430 with Lorinsor LD-1's and it is extremely clean. But trust me guys when I say that my wheels will no where near pass for stock wheter I'm rolling or parked! And Eppan, They are already mounted up! And come on guys, I know that you know how funky chrome spokes look while they're in motion! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Outstanding choice!! If/when I upsize from 17s, my thinking has been that, as much as I like the appearance of the summer option Lex wheels, I'd just want to have them bigger!!! Very elegant, very clean. I think you and I both go with the "less is more" school. As my 4 year old said when he was about 2: "Wantsomewantsomewantsome!!"
And your barber has an S-class Merc?!?!?!? Good GOD he must be pricey! (Or maybe just has a paper route in the morning?)

Thanks guys. You know it's like Christmas here in the "TXSTYLE" household! Oh I forgot to tell you guys something funny: When I finally got home from having these bad boys put on, my wife came outside cause' I was out there cleaning all the mounting crap off! She says, "Uhh Honey, are those the wheels you've been desperately waiting for all this time?" I'm like yessssssss! She says, "Well Honey, they look like bigger versions of the ones you already had." LOL!!! I'm like Honey trust me, there's a Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig difference!??? I know pics are worth a thousand words, so as soon as possible I'll post em'
