Default Finally ordered my wheels!

I finally pulled the trigger and just got off the phone ordering my Work Gnosis GS-? (have to wait and see, but if you've seen my other posts you'll know ) wheels. Now for the agonizing 8-10 week wait! Let me know if these specs sound right for my Black '06 GS300 RWD:

F: 20x8.5 with +38 offset
R: 20x10 with +45 offset (they said standard would be +40 for flush fitment, but it seems like everyone is +45)

I got the brushed alum finish w/ polished lip (they also had brushed silver??)

I'm going to mildly drop on NF210s in the next few weeks in preparation. Pix to come.

I wanted a set of Gnosis but swore off waiting that long for wheels ever again. I hate having to pay half for a product then have to wait over 2 months to get it. If it takes longer there is nothing you can do...just hate it.
Oh well, congrats on the order. Have patience young grasshopper!

Congrats on the wheels man. You can't go wrong with works.

Your offsets will be good to go. 40 would of been more flush but 45 will look good also.

Nope...I'm a simple man who loves his 5 spokes. I went with the GS2. I kept looking at other styles, but they always sucked me back.

Congrats on the wheel purchase. I just wanted to give you a heads up on your offsets..
You really should consider going a +29 on the front and +35 or 40 on the rear.You will not have to do any kind of mods to fit the wheels and you will get more lip on your wheels. Just a heads up..

Why do you suggest not letting the dealer wash the car in the future? Just curious.

Because most work wheels have polished lips on there wheels and the wheel cleaner that the dealer uses puts a haze on them.
