Thanks you guys for all ur input and advice. The ones on the right are called Privat Netz (forge grey) but unfortunately after doing quite a bit of research there are none in the country for the front (19x8) 5x114.3 only the rears are available in a 19x9.5

I also found some info that these aren't the best wheels either bc of poor quality and stories where they either cracked or damaged easily or to just stay away from the Privat in general.

Anyways, the linea corses(left ones) are alot easier to clean, have wider sizes 19x8.5(F) 19x10(R), so it has a bigger lip to it. Plus availabilty is alot better obviously. So now I know where to start.

I'd go with the ones on the right and here is my reasons why. The GS is a big bodied car. You need wheels that are not too "open faced" and has some fill to it. I was beating myself up because I couldnt decide between the MRR HR2's or the MRR GT1's.

For me, it all came down to if I wanted the nice bold spoke look of the HR2's or the LIP of the GT1's. I love how the SPOKES of the HR2's go out to the edge of the rim, giving it a bold and big look for its size, but no LIP.

Then there's the MESH look of the GT1's with polished LIP. You cant go wrong with that style either on RWD luxury cars.

I should have taken a POLL on here to see what I should have gone with like what you are doing right now. I asked a bunch of friends to see their opinion, but it all comes down to what YOU LIKE. Good luck and hopefully the input people provide for you helps you think about it and decide.
