Default SSR LM-9 - Thoughts and opinions?

What up CL, thinking about copping the SSR LM-9s so that when summer arrives I'll finally have a set of wheels to put on my baby. It's been a long time coming as this will be my 3rd summer with the GS. What are y'all thoughts and opinions on these? I saw these on one of the dude from Hawaii's LS in super black coat and fell in love. I'm usually for a more full faced type of wheel but these aren't hella expensive. I'm lowered on BC-R coils. Any idea on what type of offset I would want to run if I'm looking to be somewhat close to flush but not need any fender work? Anyone ever seen these on a GS? post pics if ya have.

(I want to run 18's i guess, link is included as to what specs they have in stock.. don't think I'd wanna wait to get custom offsets. Thanks in advance y'all)

I would run 19" x 9.5" Normal Disk +30 or Super Low Disk + 30 for the front and a 19" x 10" Super Low Disk +37 for an aggressive fitment. Definitely one of my favorite wheels; so much that I have them on my IS! 18's are pretty small on a 2GS unless you want a much aggressive look.

Love mesh rims, they look sick when spinning. Go at least 19", If it was me 20"...

Are you going to run a Normal Disk up front and a Super Low Disk in the rear? What finish do you want?

They look good-but it would be vey important to have a deep dish-makes the car have a better stance
