Question Volks GT-S Wheel

Hey Guys

I am thinking about getting a set of these Volks GT-S wheels in Black. I am just wondering what you guys think it will look on the car. And how you guys like the look of these wheels. (Maybe someone can help me photoshop a picture of the possible look on a 3GS)

Any suggestion will be great thanks.

KY

i really wanted these wheels on my previous car (g35 coupe). i personally like mercury silver or gunmetal. my only concern is that they might look small on our cars. what's wrong with your bbs?

Just my opinion. Please don't do it. Your car is going to loose $20k visually if you put them on. Those wheels only belong to the track racing cars.

+1 ...thin spokes will make your wheels look empty since it's a luxury car first and all performance matters are second, that's just the gs for you. now if you're doing a bbk, custom turbo w/exhaust (etc), then maybe these would be just right.

either way, the wheels are hot, no hesitation there. if your heart is set on it, don't let anyone stop you
(and don't let anyone stop you from posting pics either )

Well......I am running a set of Rotora BBK front and rear. I really want to get a set of black wheels to use in the winter time and I do not want anything too cheap. But it has to look good. I use my BBS for summer time only.

if you can afford a lambo, you can afford better wheels than these volk. i'd like to see a GS pimped out on agetro wheels; maybe you can be the first! see link for agetro wheels.

I'd say do it. They are high quality rims, and not too many GS owners have them. Go with something different than what every other GS owners have on CL. Post a picture of your car in the Photoshop forum and someone will photoshop the wheels in for you.

+1 on that comment. in fact, i would say i have not seen any GS owners with agetro wheels. i think these wheels would work...

go ahead and do it. everyone's got an opinion. i think those Agetro wheels are ugly. But stormforge likes them.

if you like it, get it.
if you don't like it later, sell it. a lot of g35 and Z owners are always looking to buy these

check out the black porsche 997 turbo with Agetro F100 in link below (half way down the page)...are you telling me that's not hot? that wheel would look good on a slammed GS with kit i tell you!

those wheels have been posted on this forum before.

someone said the F100 are "boring looking"
that sums it up quite nicely.

but like the saying goes- thousands of wheels. everyone's got a favorite.


these agetro wheels on the other hand, look nice from a distance. then again, they are generic looking:

dunnojack, how about photoshopping an Agetro F100 wheel on a GS? I'd be interested in seeing how that looks...
