Overall both the Vossens are roughly $400 less with tires than the Giovanna's so there isn't that much of a price difference between them; I can get an insane deal on the Giovanna's

No one in particular.. Just post a photo chop request in that section and one of the talented members will work their magic.

...any other suggestions or comments? Trying to keep the wheel/tire package under $3200 (Incl. tax and everything). Any other recommendations? Must be relatively sporty and rather lightweight.

no fender mods are required if you are not lowered. if you are you will need to mod the fenders. exspecially with a 285 tire, what color is your ride? and none of these rims really look sporty or light wieght.

getting 20s with all your mods youd be defeating the purpose, throw all that extra power straight out of the window that your car makes now and be ready to be slower then a bone stock GS with 16" wheels. Rotational Mass sucks cant have both worlds.
