Maya's or Lowenhart's...
Anyone on the board have any experience with Maya or Lowenhart rims on their GS? I think I've finally decided what the set-up is going to be, NF210's and then 19" rims, and I really like the black faced rim w/ polished lip...
Any wisdom on these rims w/ a GS?

I've had lowenhart BS5's on my GS400. The rims look nice. But it comes down to your preference. One thing though, since it is a reversed lip rim, when you get water in the channel you may feel a slight vibration. Small price to pay though for looks. 
Now I have something even better.

I have 20 inch Lowneharts. I have cracked a few now and Lownehart doesn't sell seperate epicec so I'm always stuck buying a whole new wheel. If you go 3 piece make sure you can buy seperate pieces incase of an accident or crack? Just my two cents good luck bro. Heres a pic of mine

But, the wheels look great. They have many beautiful styles...

Rims w/ a nice deep lip are cool, but I also like rims where the spokes go directly to the edge, but the center part is curved in like these stock Audi RS4 rims:

These are the ones I wish to add to my 06 GS300 RWD (Black/Black). Let me know what you guys thinks...with tires priced around 3500.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. The Volk Progressive style rims look pretty good, but aren't they in the $800 - $1000 per rim price range? Would it be possible to get those in the $3K - $4K range with tires?

25% discount for CL members...
Also, I forgot to mention that the front may have to be Face 1, which is flat,
not concave...
