Considering these 18x8 TSW wheels can't afford the Blitz Type 03's I'd really like

Any thoughts? I guess I'm kind of a 5-spoke fan with a polished lip and rivets on a beer budget. Should look much better than stock 16's.

The silver ones look good, i would hold out and save a little more and find you some nice 19's , but thats just me.

I like these in silver. Those Blitz ones are fugly IMO. These have a classic look to them. Probably better to go with 19" though..

I think the Carthage looks decent..

Just one of those things though need to see it on a GS. Some wheels look great in a picture but not so great on certain cars..


Zebt66 posted a link in another thread for used JDM wheels. www.rbwheels.com

They have a set of Blitz 03 you want for $1295

The silver Carthages look great!! Not digging the Blitzes.....at all. You going staggered, or 8's all the way around?

the silver one is nice but 18x8 on a GS all around would be weak.
