all ready for you!!! Funds for the BOOST project

The 2gen GS does look good in the pic. I actually think it looks better on the 2gen then the 3gen. With the spacers Matt it will look good.

Post some pics with the spacers on

Default Added Wheels

18's, these will end up being my winter tires. Going to do 19" mesh this winter and then repaint these or polish or black chrome them...I really dont know yet. I do like how these wheels are bigger and almost look factory.
