Default 19 or 20" Wheel suggestions needed for a GS

Well, I'm going to be getting my body kit pretty soon, and when I was cleaning my wheels a couple days ago I noticed bubbling of the chrome, so I will have to send the wheels back to Giovanna to be re-chromed under warranty, so I thought, while I'm at it, why don't I just get another set of wheels so I don't mess up my brand new wheels.

Here's what I'm looking for:

Very clean and classy design, 5 spoke, 20" or 19" (preferably 20, but If I find a 19 inch wheel I love I will purchase it)

I have giovanna attack 2's, and they are a beautiful wheel, but might not clear big brakes, and aren't staggered.


I like Volk AV3's, the Iforged Aero's, and the HRE equivalent of the Aero, whichever model is their 5-spoke design.

Finish: I love chrome, but polished is still beautful.


Well guys, please suggest some wheels, Cause I need some help.

replacement. If I can sell my wheels, Im going to get another set.

I could care less if they are used if they are in good condition.

I can get you a set of iForged or Volk. Just know the Volks are more limited when it comes to the 20s. And they are on the pricey side.

What is your wheel/tire budget?

Well, if I can sell my current ones for what I'm asking (4k) then I could probably drop another grand into em.

What would the price be for a Staggered Iforged Aero's in full polished 8.5 front, 10 or so out back? You can pm me the price if you want.


Haha, need anther project car for D2? I'll handle everything but the wheels and tires!

the av3 i don't think it comes in 20s. there is a guy selling a set of 19s av3 for DIRT CHEAP price on classified now, go for it if you want

iforged aero, definitely talk to D, he will take care of you, right D?

hre, you mean the 545r probably, a set of 19s would be around 4500 and a set of 20s would be around 5k, give or take

Yeah, there is a guy in houston (where I live) selling his av3's for dirt cheap.

I'm going to go check em out tomorrow or soon, but I would rather have a set of full polished Aero's.

So I've finally got a valid offer locally for the wheels I have, so I'm back in the game looking for a new set of wheels.

Still love the Iforged Aero's, but do you guys have any other 5-spoke options, its been narrowed down to a set of chrome or full polish staggered 20's...

stupid internet was acting up, so I never got around to checking this thread.

The Equips are beautiful, but they don't come in 20's, and 20's just fit the GS perfectly.....

I wish I could afford some damn HRE's

Blue98Gs3,

I agree with Rominl, the Equips have been on the top of my list for years. It's a classic design.
