Reggie..you are hilarious. Another set already. I personally like the new wheels better and with that staggered set it looks great. I'm not sure about the town you live in, but in N Fla I don't see that many GS's to begin with and let alone ones that have been modded with aftermarket stuff. So although on the board others could have it, I wouldn't feel that way driving it around town thinking others have the same wheel. But if you are in South Fla then I'm sure they are all over with aftermarket.
Anyway, congrats...

BTW..love the side vents on the latest pic with the wheels

Got them from Ravspec for a ridiculous price.
I'm seriously thinking of cancelling then buying from Status. It's more money but the wheels are in stock. I'll call today to see what's shaking.

Wow! Dave from Status has a really sweet car. I kinda like those fenders and it surprises me that I do.
At least I know the wheels I chose look right at home on the 3GS.

Can't believe I'm doing this again.
I don't mean buying more wheels, I mean buying wheels where you have to wait 2 months to get them. You pay thousands of bucks then they make you wait. I don't understand why more dealers don't keep stuff in stock.
Although, the ones that do charge more. I'd pay more to get the exact specs I want though. 6 more weeks to go.

lol, or sometimes they stock more aggressive setup? waiting for 2 months is no good by my book as well. that's why i always just pay a bit more and get them air shipped over. 4 weeks max and call it a day. all my wheels so far, they arrive within a month from the time i order.

It's always worth the wait for rims, especially when you have to pay so much for them. It's satisfaction in the long run.

I just spoke to D2 yesterday about wheels and while I like the Work wheels, waiting 2 months will be tough. But if the price is right and the product is great, its worth the wait, I guess. Still have to decide if I want to wait that long when I am ready to order.

if you are willing to pay a bit extra for air shipping, you will see the wheels much sooner in most cases. the fastest i have seen is 2 weeks after ordering. all my wheels arrived within a month after ordering. i got them through prestigious society and they can do air ship
