check out the 3gs member classified - smokey is selling his vossen vvs-85 20's with tires for 2k. that's a steal, whether you want chrome and no lip or not. they'll look real good on any color 3gs. if his aren't still available, there is the same set in the wheels and tires classified for 1700 w/out tires from a guy with an IS.

If I was to buy wheels right now, I would only have around $2500 w/tires to spend. So I would be looking at new cheaper wheels or used expensive ones. I think I might just keep the chromes I got now, since I think the accent the Black GS nicely, and save up some more for some nice high-end rims in the next year or so. There is really nothing wrong with the ones I have now, I was just looking for a different wheel, sometimes you get bored with what you have. LOL.

I know alot of you guys buy the really expensive wheels, but forget about brand or price for a sec, just tell me if you are feeling the style of these. Also, i really like the Vossens alot, but I want to stick with a chrome rim and Vossen doesn't offer that right now. Let me know what you think.
IMO, a great looking wheel, go for it!

I checked with Vossen a while ago and the only wheels they will dip in chrome are the forged ones or multi piece, that is way out of my range in price.
