fixing the seal depends on how much you need to fix it. a lot of times it can come out to a lot. and how cheap are you getting the wheels for? fixing it might bring it into the ballpark of how much it would cost to get a already good to go set of wheels.

seems like there is a leak, personally i wouldn't touch the wheels

not to mention the offsets are very weak. and the front wheels 7.5, that's way too narrow for aftermarket wheels on the gs imho
