You think the Carlsson 2/5's are hideous? Hmmmm...those are classic 5 spoke wheels...they're not my favorite, but I don't think they're hideous...

The Altstadt 4 is good looking wheel but I don't think they come in 20"...I think 19" is the largest size...

GT Autosports site might be slow because he's in the process of moving the entire site to a new and improved site (which looks MUCH better)...

Well I guess I am in agreement with Diesel here about wheel choice.. If you are spending 3 - 5 G's on rims they should at least stand out from the crowd IMHO.. Although some of your choices in your first 2 posts don't rub me the right way some aren't that bad.. The first Arelli might look interesting on a GS.. Maybe pick out one or 2 wheel choices and ask Manaray nicely and he can photoshop a GS with that wheel for you.. He helped me out tremendously when I was looking for wheels for the SC.. BTW the Lowenharts are amazing wheels.. I ended up getting the LD1 for the SC but like the guys said they are very heavy wheels..

On the GS wheels that have lips (Dish style) look MINT so maybe look into that as one of your criteria.. As for chrome or non chrome my choice will always be chrome for the flash factor but high polish is also another good choice.. No shame in going with 19" wheels on the GS and if you do go that route you can get better quality rims like Lowenhart or HRE my personal 2 favs..

Just my 2 cents but best of luck with your quest for the perfect wheels!
