Default 20 inch on GS

Hello everyone, I'm looking to upgrade my wheels on my 04 GS, I'm debating between two wheels. The Forgiato Martellato and D2 Forged VS4. What do you guy's think will give the car a real clean but kind of aggressive look?

D2 in my opinion. What color is your car?

You should choose the one you like best, man. You're the one paying for them, and you will have to look at them on your car all the time.

Personally, I would not have chosen either one, even though they are nice, so you know my tastes are different. But of the two, the D2 is the one I like best. The Trafficstar STR is one of my favourite wheels on the GS, and the D2 reminds me a bit of it.

Here's the VS4's on a second gen GS, but I believe these are 21" wheels.



I think they look great with a BBK behind them, but stock brakes might look a bit out of place.

This is def the look I'm looking to get, just clean! Didn't know 21's would fit without making it look like a bit much. Thanks for the pic man.

If you have stock brakes, i think a more closed-face style is better for 20s, otherwise it looks weird with the tiny brakes in plain view

But out of those 2 I like the D2 more
