Default Anybody seen these wheels?

I came across these today and I am going back and forth if they will look good on a pearl white GS300. They will be on my daily driver and a performance/street look

Sizes are 19x8.5 +35
19x9.5 +40
I think these will be conservative and I will probably runs spacers to flush them up.
If you happen to have a pic of any color GS with a similar wheel, post it up!

They will sit flush on your car with stock suspension. I have 19x8.5 +35 on front and 19x9.5 + 38 on rears and they sit just right. I do know when I lower the car I maybe, just maybe have to pull the fenders a little so they wont rub.

Looking into some more, it looks like the tires I will run will be
235/35/19
275/35/19

I thought about running 275/30/19 so the diameter front and rear would be the same, I am going back about this.

This wheel is a total different direction than I thought I was going to go, hopefully somebody has a wheel at least close they can post up. before I pull the trigger on these in the morning!

275's is a little excessive, don't you think? I'm running 255's on my 19x9.5 +38 wheel. Will it fit on the GS without any issue?

You're close. It's a replica of a Carlsson CR 1/16 wheel. I would even bet money it would accept a Mercedes center cap
