Welcome Rye. Very clean GS!
I'd recommend your next mod to be some suspension, either lowering springs like L-tuned or Eibach or coilovers... Big wheel gap between your wheels and fender.
Not a lot of folks here are fans of the spinning wheels, but if you like them, that's whats important!

I’m with 1SICKLEX on this one.
Nice wheels, minus the ghetto spinners. May have also snagged a better deal getting the wheels from over sea's rather then rebadged wheels.
As far as other mods, PLEASE lower that thing. You spent $6000-7000-8000 on wheels and tires, you can drop $1200 into it and get a set of coilovers and lower that 4x4! A nice body kit as well.
Man you know what I would have bought with a $6000-7000 wheel\tire budget....

Dont know how familiar you are with the patrons of this board, but the tastes here seem to run 2ways: either tasteful and choice (Manarays 430GS) or more flashy, but still choice (BluLex's 300GS), imported wheels, custom offsets, trick suspensions, all that stuff. not many are into the add on spinners, etc. The most important thing to remember is ITS YOUR CAR!! So if you like it, that is all that matters. Dont get offended if the boyz/girlz dont like the spinners, because you did ask for their opinion. I think your Maya wheels were a VERY good start, but the add on spinners that stick out kinda bring them down. Most guys just get a cheap wheel and cover it with the add ons, but you covered up a good wheel!
Enjoy the wheels, and all the stares I KNOW your getting in New Jerus!
BTW-if you want to an example of how CL will change your tastes, just see my sig!

i agree with dgot20....IT IS YOUR CAR....so whatever fits your style .......but keep the words "understated elegance" and "less is more" in your mind anytime you do a mod.........again that is just my opinion.
post some pictures without the spinners see how they look. i'm sure you won't have a hard time selling them.
good luck.
