You can definately do better than DUB wheels, for that price. Shop around, do some research on here, there are tons of great examples. Be open minded to different styles, brands, finishes, etc. Otherwise, if you do an impulse buy, you will later regret it and end up buy a 2nd or even 3rd set of wheels before you find what you really want. When you could have bought the right wheels in the first place and saved a lot of time and money. Trust me, I'm talking from personal experience. I went through two sets of wheels before I found some that I am really happy with. Keep us updated with your search .

If budget is a concern, check out MRR wheels. Fantastic wheels for a fantastic price. There are a few sponsors on this forum that will work with you.

On the other hand when I choose one I get all kind of negative comments and that could be due to : Bias, one's own opinion, or cause someone just doesn't like whatever it is I am talking about. I don't drive much, few miles per day. I don't race, or drive hard. I just like it to look good. I liked this one for some reason. I know the VOSSENS or Giovanni, and many more can or may look better, nt chip as bad ad the DUB, but it may not!! I like many wheels, some are priced $8-9k WHILE SOME ARE $2k, including tires. It isn't that I am spending my last pennies on it, it is just that the guy who works in a shop is a good friend and is giving me a good deal. The sensors will be the same ones I have. He called 5 professional people and even though some people say it's Ok, they ALL said DON'T stagger the AWD. I have no idea why but 4/5 tried it and either tripped the AWD or didn't set right. So I am putting 8.5 20" with NITTO tires, which I hope are good because I heard many people in the forum saying they are, and because it is the 1st option the guy gave me. All of this for $2100, mounted balanced and all. I know many of you will hate it but some won't, including me. But I wanted to get a feel of it and if I do install them will post some pics.

A lot of vendors offer tons of wheels.
D2 is a great vendor for us with wheels

What other brands does your shop offer. Sounds like a woman of your stature would not like Dub wheels. Its really not even the fact the brand is more 3 west than 9 west but the fact after a few months, you will see your hard earned money go to waste as the chrome will peel, the rims will bend and you will have other problems.

That is why I always tell people to get a QUALITY wheel, especially if you want chrome. You also don't have to spend 5k for a quality wheel.

What I've found is women sadly get the short end of the stick (what woman wants that) when they try to modify their car. People just try to sell anything they have, not what the customer wants. So take your time and buy something you really want.

You can see wheels on your car here to see what style you may like on your GS.

i would also add that since the OP is a female nurse, she should get a set of wheels that is more "classy" than "flashy" looking.

I agree with SStromforge.

Also, if you like 5-spoke wheels you may want to look into these:
