Thanks again Sasha! I looked at ALOT of wheels leading up to that choice. I kind of took the plunge because I had never seen or heard of these wheels on a GS. I had never seen the polished/clearcoated face in person so I was VERY happy about how they look.
Anything larger than a 10" width using 285mm tire w/19" diameter would require some more fender mods. The thing is, there is ALOT(2+inches) of room on the GS to the "shock side" of the wheel. My thinking is(and I believe Wheel Kenetics dabbled with this) that if you use an offset closer to +50, you could go with a 295 with only minor, if any, fender mods. That means you "should" be able to use a 10.5" wheel as well. Keep in mind, venturing beyond 10" w/285 tire is purely experimental. I know that MKilty squeezed a 295 on his ride using an 18" diameter, not sure of the offset though. He loves hard cornering and was pulling MASSIVE G-force with that car as well, so I know he could not have tolerated rubbing......

Wow Tiny that is some serious lip action.. Very nice choice and unique too.. Like you said I don't think I have seen that rim on a GS except for yours of course.. If you don't mind me asking how did you go about painting the hats and caliper.. Did you take it apart or just mask off and paint.. BTW anymore plans for your GS??
