But you do know that slamming on 20's isnt possible without some real fender work? You won't be able to go as low and unless you're really low and got a kit etc 20's seem to look a little big for the GS. Hence why most people run 19's on here is cause it's perfect to slam and also doesn't look to big nor to small.
Just letting you know beforehand so you don't get them then start threads on how youre unhappy etc because you cant drop to the floor and gotta do some pulls etc to do it.
Not saying you will, but people would do that on here so yeah.

I've had my xxr's for about 6 years now (back when they were sportmax) I cracked one wheel because i hit a 4" pothole with a long run-up to it. I sued the city and lost. (go figure) the road was repaired the next day, good thing i took photos. I daily drive and drift my car. This can happen to any cast wheel, cheap or not. High quality wheels are forged. (xxr has or had a line of forged ones). Factory wheels can be forged, but alot are cast. Even the supra made 2 versions of their wheels, 1 cast and one forged. The forged ones have no support between the lugs, the cast ones have the support. Some smaller Formula D teams run the XXR. Remember the difference is CAST and FORGED.

If you are planning on using coilovers I would go with 19s, Varrstoens specifically. Or you could get original BBS LMs for around $6-7k, remember these cars are only valued at $6-13k, mines was/is clean and stock with 1 owner and I paid $7400 shipped to my driveway. What it really boils down to is how much of an enthusiast you're. I sold my Benz C280, bought a GS and started a savings for AMG C63 which I wouldn't mind putting $6k wheels on if any.
