I vote for the BBS looking ones (option 2) even in 19s. Can't go wrong with either one!

I like the style of the first one, but I would get 19"s if possible.

One truly deserving of the label Master Pimp™ deserves no less than the pimp symbol.....chrome 20" rims.

I vote #1!

if 20"s fit w/ ease, then the answer is simple

i'd go w/ the 2nd one if they made them in 20"s, chrome...

yeah...i like the 2nd wheel much better but no 20'' size.

20''s will go on my GS no problem. this fucking sucks! maybe someone can recommend me a wheel...

i'm looking to spend no more than 4k(wheels and tires).
i really want a 20'' staggered set-up

hre's or lowenharts are my top choices for the gs...i think a NICE set of 20"s will run a bit more than 4g's w/ tires

D,

I honestly think the GS will look off the chain w/the mesh design, esp. w/that lip

Also u'll maintain a bit more ride comfort w/the 19s vs the 20s and i think the mesh give the car a more classy look


Good luck in deciding bro

ferrizzo- the GS is blk

oonowindoo- i was quoted 3100.00 w/tires, but thats in chrome.
your deal still would beat mine by 300.oo (im guessing). how much can you get supermesh for?

i really like the 19''s. i think they will look fine. i'm going to run a 245 40 in the front 275 40 in the rear... thats plenty tire, i think.

hre's and every other nice wheel would run me 5000.00+ i just can't see spending that much on wheels. there are plenty of 20'' set-ups out there for 2500.00-4000.00. i just can't find a good staggered set-up other than the MODS.

as of now, i'm going 19'' with teins at the lowest setting!
