I think they'll look great but only with a good drop.

Nice but clearly influenced by Volk GT-C.

for $2700, you can do better. i.e get a better looking wheel.

from a distance, it's just another plain 5-star wheel.
not to mention, it has curb rash.

the GS needs a fancier more elegant looking wheel.

nice sporty looking wheels imo..

couple things you should be aware though.. check the rear offset and see if you will run into any rubbing issues. rolling diameter for front and back needs to match, meaning you will need new rear tires with lower profile.

maybe the work wheels are not forged.

Thanks StVincent - I'll do a search and see the range of off sets that will work on a 2" drop - unless you have that info off the top of your head.

You're right...for $2700 I can go buy migoylim's SC1s. However, I'm more into the 'safe' look like the Maya DLS or D2Forged VS4.
