Default What do you guys think for the GS???

I like the look of this wheel.It would have to be a 22" in the rear 22x9.5(5.5" bs) and a 20x8.5(5.5" bs) for the front.I think it would look hot on a blk on blk gs, what are your thoughts?????I know the offsets wont work but there are a few wheel co. that will make it work.I would love them in 20" staggered!I must be weird!

I think a set of those in 18's with crazy offsets and widths on an airsuspension GS would look sick!

edit- heres a really fast and not so great photoshop of what they kind of look like

I guess my question is are you making a hot rod? 22's in the back and 20's in the front? Those are not GS wheels in my opinion and nothing would look good on a GS in 22's. GL though.

No hotrod.I would like to tuck the rim in the back more, thats it.I won't do an air suspension, just thinking out loud I guess.I like the wheels but the offsets are toooooooooo wrong.Oh well.

Common sense should tell you that a 20/22 combo would screw with the balance of the vehicle, putting undue stress on the front suspension - and making the car drive like crap.

Good taste should tell you that those will look stupid also. Wait, you must be missing that.

I'm just messing with ya. But seriously, if you put those on a GS, you'll be banned.

Im not feeling those wheels at all. Honestly I dont know if they would look good on anything. I just dont like the solid wheel look.

well... its a wheel style thats used alot in K-Car styling, and I have also seen quite a bit in Euro styling. I think if you wanted to go with a theme for your car, then a set of these, a set of Ronal Turbo's, or a set of Work LeadSleds with crazy offsets, streched tires, and slammed would look pretty cool on a GS.

I'm sorry man, I just don't see those very nice on a GS. I sold my Donz by the way, I had said I would let you know. Good luck in your search.
