The largest i want is 17in bec i drive a lot and the streets in nyc are pretty bad, so your rims can get messed up pretty fast. I really like both the AT Italia Riva and Mille Miglia Evo 5, i just wanted to know which is cosidered the better wheel.

dont bother to buy aftermarket 17" rims. I personally think it's a waste of money. You should try 19in rims, and be a bit more careful about the way that you drive.

Ted921 and SuperJoe both have 19's. They Look HOT!! 17's are just way way too small for a GS body style.

TicalIS300 may have a set of GS sized 18" HRE's he may be willing to part with for the right price. You should inquire.

b.diddy, you are quite right... i have a set of HRE 545's...i believe they were made for a GS.... they are 18 x 8.5 in the front with 225/40 and 18 x 9 in the rear with 255/35... tires are pretty much brand new (1 is BRAND NEW) and they are Nitto 555 extremes.... i recently had 3 of the rims refinished, the 4th one was still in very good shape... but now has a tiny bend...easily fixable... and pending on how much i sell them for, i may have it fixed for u. im looking to get $3,350....obo
