Default Ever Get Bored with Your Wheels? Me too. Here's set #2...

After one year on Vossen's I decided to get another set of wheels. I'm probably in the minority here, but I wanted all chrome wheels. With so damn many wheels to choose from it can drive you bonkers after a while. Ultimately these are what I decided to get and with all the details provided:

Car: 2008 GS350 AWD
Drop: BCR Coilovers
Fenders: Both fronts and rears shaved (not rolled)
Wheels: Fabulous Various MB-5
Tires: Hankook Ventus EVO V12
Fronts: 20x9 +36 245/35/20
Rears: 20x10 +36 275/30/20








Here is the car with Vossens:

Wheels: Vossen VVS-085
Tires: Same
Fronts: 20x9 +38 245/35/20
Rears: 20x10.5 +45 275/30/20

Wow that looks very nice! Different from the rest and a nice upgrade from the Vossen rims. Flows and looks better on your car IMO.

Think the Vossen look better IMO.. because the Vossen look like they have black accents in the rim itself.. Nice looking GS nonetheless..

I think these new wheels would have looked even better in black chrome finish.
