Talking 07 GS Wheels or 08 GS Wheels?

Hey guys

Just a quick question here, which rim would you guys prefer; the 2007 GS430 5-spokes wheels or the Brand new 2008 GS460 5-spokes wheels. I am thinking of getting a new sets of wheels for my GS but can not make up my mind which one I want to go with. I want to get those rims because I am kind of a factory goods guy.....

honestly, I never thought I would like the 08 more than the 07 one, but the more I look at it, the more I like it

If i were to choose, 08 for me

I may be biased, but I would go with the '08+ rims. IMHO, the '06-07 rims are played out, you see them everywhere (I never see the oem 17" here in SoCal). But if you want a bargain and you don't mind be one of many, Sewell is blowing out the '06-07 rims (check the vendor forum). If you really want to be different, get the G-spider rims. . .

I'm really not biased between the two. I actually like them both. But since the 06-07 version is "non directional" it's more symmetrical in terms of the lines.
