I'm a first time buyer for wheels and I have a glacier frost mica 06 gs300. I've been looking at vossen wheels. How do you guys think the black machined colored wheels will accent with my car?

For a white car, I would personally go with all silver with a polished lip. My GS is black and I went with the Machined Black Vossen 82s. Polished lip with the alloy and black spokes. I think it compliments my car well.

Vossen has a really good photo gallery. They probably have a white car with the rims you are interested in to give you an idea of what it would look like.

I wish I could see the silver machined in person... still deciding between the silver machined or the black machined.

Hi!
I ´m going to buy some new rims for my GS430.
Do you think a 9x20 with 255/30/20 an an offset of 45 on the front and a 11x20 with 295/25/20 and an offset of 55 on the rear will fit? What fender modifications will be necessary? Is in the rear enough space behind the wheel so a 11" wide rim with an 55 offset will fit?

Greetings from Austria!

it all depends what look your going for and how low you plan on lowering those offsets are weak though I personally have a 225/9x20+12 and 245/10.5x20+29 and ride slammed on coils fenders shaved/rolled and actually am slightly more aggressive than flush. Go through the wheel thread and do some research.

Just got these today - wanted something relatively conservative so I went with the Lumarai 20x8.5 all around - couldn't be happier with the final product.

I thought the offsets were really ultra conservative with the Lumerai.
What offsets are yours?

Better pics please? I am interested in these wheels. I need a good look.
