I am not really a fan of the BMW wheels on BMWs, but having seen the same wheels over and over on a Lexus, these wheels look pretty damn good, I must say! I did notice that the first GS has all 5 lugs, whereas the second GS only has 4.

P.S. Usually mixing German with Japanese isn't a good mix, with the exception of Toyota parts, they can make anything look good.
