I originally wanted 19-20" wheels but they are just so dam expensive and i'm a cheap ***. Really wanted something cheap that I could sink some time into and for these at 1200 bucks, seems like a decent deal.

18's are too small on our GS's but you can definitely dump it on 18's. The wheels itself do look good though.

If these were 19's, I would have already boughten them. The 18" is making me weary. I can step lip them to 19 but I 19 stepped to 20 seem so much better.

they look good I'd rock them with 10mm spacers up front and 5 to 10mm in the rear.

Waiting to here back from the seller on these. They would stay the way they are if I were to get them for the summer and I would be pretty much dead set on step lipping to 19" and bring out the rears to 10.5 and the fronts to either 9.5 or 10.
