Might look pretty cool if you can use the 350z/G35c offsets... I think they are 20x9 +25 and 20x10 +25 or something like that... would look nice and aggressive on the GS!

Drew, the rims look nice but just a word of caution before you proceed. If in fact you go with a 20" rim with an "open" five spoke design, you will have a very clear view through the rim to the rotors and calipers behind. When you have a BBK this shows them off very nicely but until you spend the money to upgrade your brakes you will have a large open looking rim that will make your standard rotors look very diminutive. There will be a very noticeable gap between the outer perimeter of the rotors and the inner barrel of the rims.

i was planning on doing the supra BBK with some cross drilled rotors, that will fill the wheel up nicely enough for me...

agree on both these points. derricks a good guy i held him up on the phone for way too long the other day trying to figure out what i wanted and he was nothing but helpful.. and as far as the wheels, if you like them, get them... if you like axis, you should also check out the matrix and the penta. i was looking into both of those before i decided to go a different route.
