Default Wheel makeover on my 14 year old GS :)

I got a new set of rims to replace my 18 inch HRE's this past weekend.

These are 20 inch wheels and at the moment they haven't been installed on the car yet. I have Falken PT-722's on them in 245/35 front and 275/30 rear. The fronts are 9 inches wide and the rears are 10 inches wide.

Pics don't do any wheels justice. These look absolutely stunning in the flesh (or metal)

These are the InDIVid Logic model and the finish is custom.

The centers are gloss brushed titanium, outer barrels have a layer of chrome to make them scratch resistant and inner barrels gloss black powder coated. I will post some pics of them installed later this week.

I got these from another CL OG member like myself - SoCalSC4 . Classy and stand-up guy is the only way to describe him. The quality on these wheels is as stunning as the finish.

Thanks everyone for the compliments.

Yes, indeed I am a lurker on here now. Work is too busy to actively participate on the forums.

I plan to mount the new wheels on the car this weekend, wash the HRE's, take some pics and put those up for sale immediately in the classified section.
