Question Question about Rims for the GS400

I have seen a lot of really nice rims on members cars, but what i am wondering is whether these wheels are three piece wheels or if they are one piece and just manufactured for the GS or cars of the similar dimensions. I have 20 inch rims on my GS but the off set is all wrong and i have to use spacers. I hate the way it looks. I want to start over but i cant afford three piece rims.

My questions is what are most memebers running on thier cars, 3 piece wheels or one piece wheels and if it is one piece what brands offer the proper offsets for the GS. I would love to find some 20 by 8.5 in the front and 20 by 9.5 or 10s in the rear.

Thank you

There are many variations, I used to have 1pc, now I have 2pc and some have 3pc.

it is alittle tougher to find 20" staggered 1pc wheels (although more companies are introducing them).

For one piece, TSW has a couple styles that fit.

For the best compromise of sizing, finish, and fitment, I would recommend 2pc iForged, or Work. Good luck

i agree with d2, it's kinda hard to have 20s one piece now. most people have 3 piece coz' it allows more custom offset setup. i always have 3 piece wheels on my GS, and now i have hre and the custom offset is a big plus
