Yes, he may DRIFT in those, but he aint goin' to know car shows in those gold 18s. I can promise you that.

Still lovin' that response, Johnny. Where'd you get that? I want use that one myself.

Those wheels are horrid.

Your old ones fit just perfect and these things look trashy. The gold color looks more like my urine after a long night of drinking rather than the classic volk gold that is so pretty.

Either you are bs-ing or you have developed a case of severe bad taste.

I like the gold look too, but I think yours are a little too yellow lol. If it's a 3 piece rim, you can get the center spokes repainted to a lighter yellow.

Check out the new rims I just got. I think if you got your spokes repainted to this color, then your car would be perfect. I always loved a blue/gold or white/gold combo. That's why I went with these for my car. I think the new wheels you got are a good choice, but maybe lighten up the yellow a bit. A chrome rim looks nice, but it does not really stand out. On the other hand, a gold rim stands out waaay more...and with the deep yellow shade of the set you have it's definately gonna catch a lot more eyes.



Here, I photoshopped it so you can see what I'm talking about.

Its hard to see I guess b/c many of us considered your GS to be perfect. As in "cannot be improved".

You gonna track her now?

I actually like the new look. Its certainly different from what we are accustomed to seeing on a blue GS, not just on Adrian's car specifically. It has a faster look to it Props for stepping out of the box and doing something different....I wondered the same on going the gold on green with my car, but was too scared

Can we get some more shots A? Maybe some rear angles?
