Default LFA style wheels on GS?

Found these on ebay:

Anyone have them on a GS yet? Can someone photoshop it?

Not sure why I like those wheels so much. Hmm.. Almost remind me of the new Maxima wheels or the rays forged g35's..

Also...if you had searched lfa wheel in the forum you would had found...

Those can't be the real ones cause for all four the price is way to cheap, not even my hybrid rims would retail that low. I thought about this to and was turned down by the actual price of the rims, they would look nice but like said above they remind me of the maxima rims when on the GS versus the LFA.

The ones being sold by our forum vendor have the Satin Charcoal finish which looks stunning. I think these wheels would be nice on a GS, but I don't know if they make 19X8 and 19x9.

maxima for comparison.

maxima's spokes are spread out further

They look clean on the IS, but then again IS' can get away with 19's. IMO, I think they would have that stock feel on a GS. That is, unless you dump the hell out of your GS.

The only issue is these wheels are cast not forged. If you're changing wheels it's better to go for Forged for durability and weight.

as long as there is no lip, 19" wheels will look large enough.
