Default Test fitted some Works VX-SS...Whatcha think??

They are 19x8.5 235/35/19 +32 black with polished lip. A friend selling these but only has 2 fronts so I would need to find 2 more for the back. He's willing to let these go for $950 with practically brand new Toyo tires. What you guys think??

They look good but I don't think I would buy 2 wheels.

Just have them on one side of the car and OEM on the other side. I love how your OEM rim is just in the middle of the street

They look very nice on the car but finding 2 more with the same offsets is probably going to be tough. I would find a set.

those rims look sweeeeet on the GS and if it was for the set, i would say GET IT NOW! but to be honest, you will have to order brand new rims/tires for the rear. you wont find anyone selling 2 rears with the right off-set. if you plan on shelling out the $$$ for the rears, its an ok deal for the front. i dont think its a great deal though. $950 and a head ache (or heart ache waiting for the rears) seems kinda high.

if that's the look you want to have for your car, those wheels do the job flawlessly! 950 is not bad, but i'd still find out what a brand new set costs anyway, if it ends up being close to double that (or even a little over) i'd just get a brand new set for all four. some of the vendors have specials on work if you haven't checked the section yet.

the wheels look nice in pics 1 and 3...but the 2nd pic the wheel looks like it doesn't fill out as nicely as a 20 would?? good luck on whichever direction you go with. why does dude only have 2 wheels for sale?

i think 900 is steep for just a pair... you'll have a hard time trying to find the rear pair thats used..

i'd wait for the right chance for a complete set for a good price over all.

Like YOO said... $900 is pretty steep. I would pick up a set of 4 either new or used from a trusted source.
