I like the stepped lip on the GS. i'm running the same 19X9.5 +20 all around 245/35 front 275/30 rear. Should have went with a +25 or +22 in the front. Got some rubbing when alignment was dialed in.

Yeah, I was running ET17 in the front before, and while it looked awesome, it did rub a little bit, and I like driving my car hard on twisty roads, so wasnt really an ideal situation.

i love all black wheels, but I gotta say the new color flows so well on your car. Brings more pop to the wheels and the car.

The new gunmetal color looks perfect! The GS looks super clean!

I do get the anti replica stance, I prefer genuine myself, but it was either fund my GTE single conversion project, (which will cost more than car is worth as using name brands and building well - genuine Garrett, HKS ECU, good quality fuelling etc) or some genuine LMs - I chose the single conversion and supporting mods - full suspension overhaul + LSD etc.

Once my bank balance recovers (and hopefully after I have 500whp) I will probably look at a set of Work VS-XXs

But for now the LM reps look damn good and free up funds for more important things.
