I just saw my next set of wheels.

Those wheels look nicer than any set of wheels I have seen on any GS for a long time. The concave shape is amazing

+1, agreed i'm not feeling it either. but as long as OP likes 'em, that's all that matters (different strokes for different folks).

Looks like we're running about 50-50 on these.
Put me on the side that isn't feeling these too much.
They aren't bad just not enough pop to me. Too many spokes is the main problem. They look alright but I wouldn't go near them.

I had a set of axis hagen wheels on my G35 and they were slightly concave( I wasnt on a staggered set up ) and I loved the way it looked while spinning. I love a lipped wheel but these look fresh and new to me. I think the way the rear wheel is very concave looks really cool imho

I feel like Im the only one that thinks these don't flow on the GS. They look really good on the IS. I am a fan of the concave look just not on the GS after seeing this.
