What do you guys think about these wheels? I like them becasue the spokes come out flush to the edge but they still give a sense of a deep lip.

I've seen them in magazines and they caught my eye. Not sure how much I like them. I sorta like them but not sure. Definitely not bad looking. The long slim spokes gotta look hot when rolling. Go for it.

I am thinking about getting those same wheels for my GS430. No one here in Seattle has a set up like that and the price is nice.

I think they would look ok on a GS but won't be my first choice.

Yea why are they so popular here in AZ? They looked cool when I first saw them in pictures, then I saw them in person on the street and they didn't look good .

a guy had these on a silver 3gs when i was getting my wheels installed. did not look quite right in person, but to each his own. if you like them, go for it. personally i'm not a fan.

those wheels have been around for a while. I like them but wouldnt do a 5 spoke again. I ha d a set of 5 spoke wheels similar to them for my first set of wheels and the entire time I wanted a wheel with more detail. 5 spoke is always a sure bet to look nice but its a little boring
