Default Opinions, Trafficstar 19's on my GS

I bougth these wheels with the intention to powdercoat them , use them on my GS and sell them when i got the money for the wheels that i want. I just put them on my car to check fitment and they look pretty good. Fronts are good offset, rears look like they need to come out about an inch. I now have the money to buy my other wheels but im starting to like these. The other wheels i want are MRR HR3 20's. Whats do you think of this wheels on my GS?
These are currently on craigslist , i was waiting on a voucher to place them here in the f/s thread , but i dont have it yet.

Wow thats a classic rim. Why on earth would you downgrade to MRR's. Personally I would not get spacers for these wheels to flush them out I would just have custom lips made cuz they are pretty mild among today's standards Talk to MC3. They are also in Florida. They can make custom lips for you. They are a vendor on the forums here

I would probably paint the spoke a different color or machine cut the face. Black spokes are pretty dated now. I would paint them silver with machine cut surface like so....

I agree.

Go with spacers and push out the current wheels versus MRR wheels - ANYDAY!

I wish i could get the lips of my wheels like that on my SSRs then i might be inclined to keep them. I say keep the wheels & have them widened in the rear.
