I paid a little over $1,000 shipped for the HR2 staggered setup (19X8.5 F, 19X9.5 R). Tires are going to be 245/35/19 F and 275/30/19 R. Chose not to go Fat. Hopefully, the ride is alright

The SSR GT3 design is classic. I used to see them on every type of car from Mustangs/Cobras to BMW M3s (especially these). I guess you can say they are kind of "played" out. The HR2s on the other hand have a good design too, but the big downside is that it doesn't feature a lip. So I guess it really comes down to what you really like.

GT3 look pretty good on everything, but they are a little played out. But I live in Buffalo, NY. We're about 10 years behind all of the rest of you guys for mods. So not many people around here know what they are.

I always felt the GT3 looked too 'skinny' for a big car like the GS. They just don't have enough spoke material to really look strong enough for a bigger car. Back in the day, the genuine GT3s actually had issues with cracking (hopefully the replicas have addressed this concern, but there's only so much you can do with a cast aluminum wheel that doesn't have much mass).
I have a thing about proportions, and the GT3 doesn't really look beefy enough for a car bigger than, say, a Boxster. Just my opinion, though. I'd rock the HR2 with machined finish in a bigger size like 19" or 20".
