What do you guys think would look better on the car? Just looking for some opinions... The top 2 pics are my car and the last is another CL member's car with MRR HR2. Thanks
I like both wheels and nice car...it's just that I feel the GT3's are a lot sportier...if they were staggered with a nice 4" rear lip it would be hands down keep the GT3's. I know HRE makes a style wheel like the GT3's. I would KILL for them in a staggered hi-polish finish. Like I said though, they both look great!

+1, that's where I got mine as well. I also have a silver GS, and those clears look great on that color car.

I have 19" MRR HR2's on my MDX and love 'em. I had to get 66.5mm to 64.15mm hub rings, but there's still a vibration around 70mph.

Now I'm close to getting a 2001 GS300 and want another set of 19" MRR HR2s to match my MDX, but I'm concerned about vibration - those of you with HR2s on your GS's, did you need hubrings and do you experience vibration?

^^ You WILL need hub-centric rings and I have no vibrations whatsoever. There's a vendor on CL I think called b2designs where I got mine from. He still bumps his thread often so give him a try.

Thinking about selling my car to free up a spot in my garage. It's a 2001 GS3 with 110K, non-nav. Any idea what I should be able to get for it? OR.. is anybody interested in buying it? I'm in Buffalo, NY.

Not sure why the pics aren't loading. It's a Silver/Gray. Pictures are posted in this thread with the 19" MRR HR2s
