The Silver GS has a Lsportline body kit...and the "crease" in the door looks like a reflection of one of the legs of the tent...

The Blue GS...not Veilside...it's what Globe said...

And here's a BIGGER picture of the Win Racing Aristo JZS16x...these are one of the few wheels that I think look good in chrome (and this style in general)...but I'd still get mine in Machine/Diamond cut...with a high polish lip...

This is how low my GS is... (except for the back...it's tad bit higher...but not for long)

Manaray,

Are those 19's or 20's in that pic?

How much drop do you think the car has?

Thanks!

I think those are the WIN Racing rims in 20's if I'm not mistaken. Wait till manaray gets on here, he always schools the crowd. But honestly, the mesh look is just classy, you know. You can go with the race rims, and the Bling look, but the mesh in chrome, just gives you that classy look on the GS. That's just my 2 cents


I'm glad you like the look LexDriver18

I agree. The mesh looks classy & sporty altogether.

IMO, Operas are cool only if they are 20"......IMO, dish style wheels tend to look smaller than they actually measure.

I know what you mean TinyGS. Only thing I am afraid of is the weight. They are a 3 piece forged aluminum rims so I think the strength is there.

Quite a few people have mentioned an affection for mesh style wheels. One of my favorites is the Bersaglio Mesh. I don't have a scanner but maybe someone can scan it from a Hyper Rev.

GS4fun, yes, those are 20's...20x9 and 20x10...

Richie - I'm not sure of the exact drop on my car but it's almost what that Win.Racing GS is at...just a tad (like 1/4" to 1/2" higher)

Hehhee...like I've said before, one of the FEW wheels I'd get in chrome...chrome looks good when there isn't too much of it...

enginyr - Hehehe...if you want my OPINION, I think the wheels are OK...they're a little too AMG/Lorinser/Carlsson and they're heavy (even for a forged wheel due to just plain mass) but they're well made wheels...if it were me, I would get something else...but if you like 'em, get 'em...don't forget, it's your car...

BBS Racing - Though they're good wheels, I think they're ugly...they make one nice looking mesh wheel (IMO), I think it's called the RC...

Zushwa - Bersaglio mesh is a wheel that Dazz used to sell a while back if I remember correctly...nice wheel...
