Maya's or Lowenhart's...
Anyone on the board have any experience with Maya or Lowenhart rims on their GS? I think I've finally decided what the set-up is going to be, NF210's and then 19" rims, and I really like the black faced rim w/ polished lip...
Any wisdom on these rims w/ a GS?

I've had lowenhart BS5's on my GS400. The rims look nice. But it comes down to your preference. One thing though, since it is a reversed lip rim, when you get water in the channel you may feel a slight vibration. Small price to pay though for looks. 
Now I have something even better.

I have 20 inch Lowneharts. I have cracked a few now and Lownehart doesn't sell seperate epicec so I'm always stuck buying a whole new wheel. If you go 3 piece make sure you can buy seperate pieces incase of an accident or crack? Just my two cents good luck bro. Heres a pic of mine

But, the wheels look great. They have many beautiful styles...

Yikes, really? For the amount that those wheels cost, you'd expect them to hold up. Any suggestions on wheel brands that are known to stand up well?

Rims w/ a nice deep lip are cool, but I also like rims where the spokes go directly to the edge, but the center part is curved in like these stock Audi RS4 rims:

These are the ones I wish to add to my 06 GS300 RWD (Black/Black). Let me know what you guys thinks...with tires priced around 3500.

Kind of sporty, but nice.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. The Volk Progressive style rims look pretty good, but aren't they in the $800 - $1000 per rim price range? Would it be possible to get those in the $3K - $4K range with tires?

25% discount for CL members...
Also, I forgot to mention that the front may have to be Face 1, which is flat,
not concave...
