Default 500 miles - wheel already curbed

So, I let the little woman drive my car today. Mistake. She curbed the rear passenger rim. It's on 25% of the lip.

I was looking around the Sewell site for the cost of a replacement and I found the forged F-Sport 19" for the 4GS. Link below, but I have never seen these actually on a GS before, anyone have some pics? Nebula Gray if possible, if not, whatever you got. Just curious as to how they would actually look on the car if I replaced em all.

did you beat her . question... did she tell you or did you find out on your own? the F Sport Forged are nice, if you decide to get them don't forget to get your sewell discount.

Awesome, thanks for the links!

She told me, and no beating was given.

Man I feel your pain, seems they need a little beater and a no touchy sign for the GS. I doubt this would help but on Sewell I saw that under our wheels there is a choice of touch-up paint.

Is this your excuse to get the forged wheels?

I say go for it, don't forget the lug nut kit.

She did good, didn't she? J/K. Now you have a good reason to replace your wheels. Since you ask, IMO these are great wheels (I love them when I first saw them in the brochure) but I feel that they don't go with the GS as a whole. They look really good close up but from a distance they look kind of busy. But that's just me. If you like them, go for it.
