Hey what kind of rims and size are those? IMO it doesnt match your car. You need big fat lips on your wheels.

No offense, but personally, I think the whees are fairly ugly and don't belong on a GS...plus I think 18" looks too small on a GS...but hey, that's just me...

Well I live on Michigan also, and the roads are BAD! But you can roll 19-20" if you want, you will rash the 18's just as much as the 19's or 20's if you drive crazy.

I agree, I am not feeling those wheels, althought it is a change from the Giovanna's everyone out here seems to love!

Ouch, were those like $350-400 a wheel? could have had some pimped JDM wheels in 18" for that.

If lowered nicely 18's look very good on GS. My neighbour CL member has 18's on his and it looks vety good withought any fender gap. I would not even go bigger on his car.
