Default Stock GS F sport wheels are hot

Stock GS F Sport wheels vs aftermarket.
Are aftermarket wheels really worth the $ when the f sport has perfectly good/great looking wheels? Ive seen some gs owners actually come out looking worse after spending alot of $

I would have to agree with you. I would put F sport up against any other 19" full face wheels

Im happy i listened to my wife for once. Kinda held off on upgrading wheels because there was hardly anything out there that truly appealed to me. Now its looking like these 19's are here to stay.

I get compliments on my stock f sport wheels all the time. Have no intention to change them. It's one of the main things that attracted me to this car. How many manufacturers can you name that put sweet gray 19" wheels on their sport package model without having to go after market?

Maybe some spacers for the rear and your done perfect set with a staggered look.

Agreed I couldnt justify buying aftermarket rims for the GS. The replica LFA on the IS I am not as much of a fan of though and had to replace.

They look good when they're clean. Mine looked really good after I did a full detail but 5 miles later they're covered in brake dust and made me cry.
