Not that dunnojack or Seize need any chops behind them, I think having some brake hardware showing adds some depth.

5-spokes are at the top of my list generally, but theres a point where the spokes get too thin (that point varies car by car - Vettes look good to me with thinner spokes). These are right around that point, for me, as far as the GS is concerned.

By my standards, it looks alright...I did the best with what I had to work with.

....but when I get proper pictures, I can kill it

I think those spokes are about as thin I would get on the GS. For one it shows your brake system off, stock or OEM, so keep that clean.

From a "balance" standpoint, slim spokes on a big body/chunky car like the GS don't match well. The PS look good.

Seize did a good job on those rendering! Volks look good, but i say they belong more on a 350z, Supra... not a GS.. in my opinion

I second the 360's.... (they are a site sponsor now if you didnt know)..

I have 360's and i couldnt be happier... now im on to my second set of 360's also Mesh 8's
