Default Pictures of GS with ASA JH9 Wheels

Hello, Does anyone have any pictures of a GS with ASA JH9 wheels from tirerack?

I need to replace my bent 19" Moda R6 wheels this week and have not found any plane 5 star wheels to replace them with.. I ran across these ASA JH9's this morning and like them.

Does anyone have any feedback on the JH9's?? The Moda R6 wheels were bent after 2 months of driving (and I do not hit curbs or pot holes often), they are too soft of a wheel for a big car.

If anyone can photoshop these onto my car that would be cool to see. I have pictures on my profile on CL.

Thanks in advance.

Aren't ASA wheels kinda of cheap? IMO i think the jh8's look better than the jh9's. they are plain 5 spokes as well.

I am sure they are cheap, for only $250/wheel.... Hopefully not cheaper than the Moda R6 wheel, as far as I am concerned those are junk.

I just need a nice looking wheel to get me through the summer, I am getting rid of my car in the fall..

There's nothing wrong with an inexpensive wheel..

tirerack has an interactive part of their website where you could view various wheels on various cars, the GS being one of those cars. Maybe you should try that first.

Thanks... I bought them today, they will be here Wednesday and get installed Thursday.

I will take pictures this weekend and post them on my profile, I have my fingers crossed that they look good. If not, Denali here I come.

I think that I like them... They do pronounce the wheel well gap more than my Moda wheels though. I think I need to do some research on the best way to drop it a couple of inches. I don't really want to sacrifice any ride quality..
