Default Introductions: New F Sport Owner

Hi all,
Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. Picked up a new GS350 F Sport this past Tuesday. Coming from an FJ Cruiser (still have it for snowboarding trips), the GS definitely makes the commute a much more pleasant experience. I really love everything about it. It's Nebula Gray with the Cabernet interior.

Like my previous cars (Acura Integra, Acura TL, Toyota Supra, Nissan 350Z, etc) I won't be able to leave the GS alone. Coming in is a set of Gnosis CV201 by Work Wheels in brushed silver with polished step lip in 20x9F and 20x10.5R...should arrive in about 8 weeks. Lowering is in the works.

Nice to meet you all and I hope to contribute to the community.

Congrats and welcome. I see you have already bought new wheels?! That new wheel by Work seems to be a popular choice.

Keep us updated.
Tentatively,
F: 20x9.0 +34** / 245/35/20 / Lip size 49mm (1.9") R-Disk (Big Caliper Disk)
R: 20x10.5 +45 / 275/30/20 / Lip size 77mm (3.0") O-Disk (Deep Rim Disk)

Normally do a 9.0 +38 offset but the highest offset they make in the R-Disk 20x9 Step Rim is +34. 4mm shouldn't be an issue.

Additional holes will be drilled to accommodate the stock TPMS.

As a little side note, I've always loved Work Wheels, high quality and just look badass. Can't go wrong with Work.

Here is my '03 350Z (sold) with the Work Meister S-1 3-Piece wheels.
