Talking bought some wheel, can't wait for next summer!

My vacations costed me a lot this year. Bought the winter tires for the 430 and winter is not even started , and I can't even wait for next summer because of these.






I love the vip look a GS can have but I will always be a fan of battle stance. And the Gs can fit this kind of wheels on it perfectly. Only down side is that an expense brings another. I will have to buy coilovers lol

Those are awesome! I love the color of the wheels....was actually looking to put something similar on my GS3 to match up with my black pearl emblems. What kind of wheels are those?

18x9.5 in the back and 18x8.5 in the front. I don't remember the offset by heart I would have to take a look but the fit flush. And egs21 the model is work emotion (as mentioned by others) CR-kai. I just forgot to take a picture while we tested them on the car....next spring/summer...

What made you go with the 18's as opposed to the 19's? Just curious...

18's can make your car go lower obviously but im thinking its cause the 18" tires are priced alot lower than 19's OP correct me if im wrong.

I like the fact that you don't have some gapingly large 20" wheels for your car that look redonkulous like every other Joe Schmoe "VIP". 18" wheels with the right drop look just right and are light enough to keep that sporty feel and look. Nice color too!

18" work eurolines arent light still xD but yeah with the right drop 18's work fine, 19's do fill up the wheel well a little better though. I'm an 18" guy though.

I stand corrected, although compared to 19s of the same brand, his 18s are lighter, right? 19" can look good, no doubt. But I'm OCD like that, I'd always pick 18" or 19" wheels over 20"+ thinking in the back of my mind of the power loss..

well of course when you eliminate all the variables 18's will be lighter, but for me, it will all depend on what wheel you are going with, wheel weights are all subjective. 19" forged volk's will probably be lighter than a 17" cast wheel from discount tire.
