I agree, don't chicken out. Asking people who haven't seen the car in person is not worth a hoot. We all know the car looks great. You don't really need to change. It just doesn't look right, for the stage of modder you are. You're not some newbie or old guy trying to be hip. You know the game. You're at top level. The GS is too big. If those wheels had less spokes, you could get away with it. I regret getting 19's for my GS but at least the 5 spokes look okay. If you have the cash, do it.
Derrick sounds like he may be able to work a deal...maybe take the old ones in trade. They are practically new. The people you bought from, they can't do anything for you? Most people will accept returns if you don't like the fitment.

Wow ed, i can't beleive you sold those wheels already.. that was pretty quick. Well, it seems to me that the look you want to acheive is the same look like Adrain and Darrell have. I mean with the your body kit and 20's its going to be a night and day difference in asthetic appearance. Especially with those monster brakes sitting behind the wheel..

These pics are going to be priceless...

thanks tony , i have decided to take the car in a different direction , i am not out for the speed factor for florida is gettong tooooooo dangerous to be caught in the triple digits now with the revised statues on the books , depending on the officer , how fast you were going , if you were overtaking and caught redhanded in a race you can forfeit your car , not just impound but loose it

now with police using trucks , hondas mustangs , you name it they are using it to trap you into a race , its just not worth it anymore so now i wanna just cruise and look good ,

You're not kidding dude, these cops act like they have nothing better to do than give people tickets.
On the other hand, for several years the modding game has skyrocketed and modders probably drive faster and take risks that scare other drivers. I guess I could understand the cops stepping up their game since the car market has stepped up the performance.

I think 20's are the right way to go for a big car with a kit on it. Ed wanted other people's opinion but I can't help myself.
