Default Wheel Teaser 2

I hope you guys don't mind another thread....it isn't like there is so much activity in the 3GS section anyway.

Just got off the phone with the dealer, they seem to be really okay with taking back the wheels that didn't fit properly. They asked the manufacturer who guaranteed fitment so now they know the GS350 comes with BBK and won't make that mistake again. I was gonna go cheap but changed my mind at the last minute. Here's what I ordered:



They're the Boze/ZE Forged Fuel. Decided to go with custom fitment to ensure no problem. I'm sticking with the 20x8.5 all around. I know some of you think I'm crazy but I'll be the one rotating tires for that extra year of use. Now the wait, another month. Oh well.

Reggie....Nice....like the spoke better on these....looks better where the spoke meets the lip....your other wheels reminded me of some Giovannas I've seen in the past. Post pics when you get these badboys on.

Later...Brian

I thought you all would like these better..........and so do I!
Almost the same price range as the others, should have jumped these before. I gotta come up with a little more cheddar but i's cool. I tried the 1 piece forged route, which is not a bad route but the Lorenzo's are not it. My wife loves them but I keep telling her they look more appropriate for a 300C. Don't know why I forgot about them, I've been checking them out for years. Better late than never.

I shipped the old wheels back today and I have several day while they travel to Calif to make a final decision on the next set.
I like what i chose but these Sevas Forged are just really tempting. I'm afraid because of all the problems the 1 piece cast are having. If they make inferior cast they might be making inferior forged. These look awfully good though.
