Those look sweet. The lip looks good for 8.5" wheel.

Well, it's supposed to be chrome but I can see what you mean, has a polished look on the pics. I like that part. Does anyone ever tell what their wheels cost? I'm just asking cause I don't usually ask and I don't recall seeing an answer when others have asked. I'll pm it.

BTW, these are my first set of 20's and first set of fully forged wheels. The Maya's only have forged barrels with cast face. I swore to never own 20's...............I should know better...........never say never.

You wouldn't have to ask if you saw me driving on I-95 or the turnpike on a Sunday morning cruise. I drive pretty spirited. Lots of swerving between cars and fast bursts with quick slowdowns. I like to performance drive and 19's are better for that. Since I got rid of the G35 and SC300, I can't drive the GS the same way. It doesn't respond the same way. So now I don't care, 20's are for luxo-cruizing. Plus, I like a comfy ride and 19's with fat tires are best for that.

Day #2 and I've been looking at these pics every chance I get (don't tell my boss). I'm starting to like them and decided to name all the positives (yes, I'm a trip).

They're forged
Easy to clean
1 piece design so no water gathering in the barrel
The finish that quality look and feel
Look alright
Not a knock-off....then I thought of the iForged Trial. Mine are not as sleek but similar. Look at the iForged site, looks similar to me. http://www.iforged.com/v3/wheels_detail.php?WhID=34

Anyway, I think I'm going to mount them and give them a try. My wife thought they were beautiful. Don't know if I trust her but she was the first to tell me the Racingharts were too plain for the paint sceme of the GFM. Then Derrick commented they looked stock. Then a buddy of mine (not a car guy) said they looked stock. That's when they had to go. So I guess I can trust my wife's opinion.

In the end you have to be happy with them... Forget what everyone else tells you or thinks... It is your car right??? Then who cares what everyone else thinks... As long as your satisfied with them then that should be the only thing that matters.... Go with it.. If you put them on and hate them a month later just sell them and get different ones...Your a baller right.???? got not one GS but Two right... lol.... So whats a few bucks.... Just my $.02

You know you're right but that is the point, I'm the one who isn't that crazy about them. My wife's opinion is important to me, I trust her fashion sense. I've taught her so much about the "right look" that she knows. I even caught her calling some guys' car ghetto. I was like, where did you learn that???

Anyway, like I said, I'm gonna mount these puppoes and go from there. I'm no baller but you're right, off they go if I don't like them....especially since I got my eye on the new line of Sevas Forged. Man they are hot and affordable. I get a super serious discount being a tri-peat buyer.

Great, I'm anxious with you. I love seeing my fellow cl'ers hook up their rides.
I know the brand you chose but which model?

The M3 is hot....and probably the most popular of the Modulare models. It's the one you see in most pics about the brand. Good choice. Actually, great choice! That's the way to do it.

Does this mean you'll be selling the ones on the car now?
