Looks good! What the offset on your wheels? Do you have any rubbing issues?

This is actually the first time that I am really impressed with a set of wheels. I've seen em all and these look great on the new GS. Wow!!

I've always been a Work Equip lover, but this has definitely got me thinking.

looks great! nice choice in wheels. congrats, and have fun keeping the front wheels clean from brake dust. Carry a cloth and wipe down the lip each day to keep that looking sweet.
