So you are replacing the stock forge light weight wheels with heavy cheap cast wheels FAIL.... Not trying to be a d*** but I dont understand why people do that.. Save up and buy some forge wheels might take a little long but worth the wait.

I am completely offended! That just hurts my ego! ..Wait, I don't have one.

Thanks for your opinion. That's what I was looking for.

Not that I have to justify my actions, but if you really want to know. I had these on my ISF and kept them from the trade. I liked the wheels in that car... I'm not sure I like them on the GSF though.

Yes, for people who actually know about quality over atheistic;, this combination can be uncomfortable. For the other 98% of people... they don't even pay attention.

Thanks again.

I agree the stocks are the better wheel, I just don't like the style of the stocks and they are small looking for my taste. Definitely forged is the way to go but if you already have those wheels than why not use them? If your not tracking the car than I wouldn't worry about the weight of the rims, all in all, your call dude.

I agree with post #2, though I might have worded it differently. I can not for the life of me see replacing the stock quality forged BBS wheel with an inferior constructed cast wheel. But, that's just me. As far as the stock GSF or RCF wheels, I don't like the looks of most of them. I do, however, luv the look of the base RCF wheel and have them on my ISF.

Looks clean but the OEM wheels look aggressive..

To me, vossen wheels look more stock than the OEM wheels. Sell the vossens and buy your GSF something nice

Stock >> Vossens. On the GSF, those Vossens cheapens the look of the car, imo. Those wheels would look much better on a smaller car with a shorter wheelbase, like a Z.

On the bright side, they would be much easy to clean than the stock wheels.

keep those Vossens for your winter tires. The stock wheels look a lot better.

I agree with what an earlier poster said that the OEM rims do look kind of small in the wheel wells but I am in agreement with the majority that after looking at the two pics; I would go/stay OEM but that is just me.
