That's a loaded question Zach Lots of people and lots of opinions. One thing for sure, don't bring up any knock offs on this board! I'm not sure I subscribe to that theory, because while I'm sure most of the JDM wheels are built to better standards, I think they would still bend if a nasty pothole(crater) were hit. Also, sometimes I think I'd rather risk road rash on a cheaper wheel than on something I absolutely am in love with... after all, the GS is my daily driver.
Getting off my soapbox, my current favorites are the LECS RCK;

the Work Rezax II;

the Work VS-KF;

and the Dronell Type M05;

As you can see, I favor the 5 spoke design, but there is something very classy about the mesh look. Really, I get a better feeling from the Konig Imagine than the Rezax II, but I don't think I'd be allowed back on CL if I put Konigs on my GS

I would have gone with these had they come in 19'. Although they told me they would have them this summer. This company is based in England. And I know of only 1 importer located in Florida! Very clean, and very classic! In chrome of course!

I also like this wheel from Maido. Although it is a little "busy". But non the less if "Bling-Bling" is your thing!

I'm considering some Zenetti's due to money; honestly, do you guys think this is too much of a knock off or cheap wheel to put on the GS?

Not at all bro'! I had 18' Chrome Vega's and they complimented greatly. I received constant compliments! And the quality was solid! I hit potholes and even brushed a curb and they truly surprised me as to the strength fit & finish. Go for it! It's your cash no one else's.
