Default Late arrival of my father's day gift - well sort of..

couple of you know I am taking another direction on my GS. since i still love my GS so much, i think i can justify myself to continue modding this car. (Don't ask my wife about this, she thinks and calls my GS as a beater car now after we went to the LS460 sneak preview) Anyways, these came in today and I am surprised how much I love this set up at the first sight. Also going to try out the latest Dunlop LeMan 703 to see if they are better than the 702.

without further delay

LOL, definitely some nice sxxx here. This is my first dish and AC wheel. I wasn't sure if I can live without mesh. However, for this face lift project, I think dish wheel is the best fit and after days and days of research my bank account hurts~~ Still debating on couple cosmetic mod....

and btw... no more changing wheels for me... i am set.... seriously.....

I think someone is hinting on going fatter in your rear. I have 9.5 and thinking about doing 285/30 instead of 275/30.

imho 285 on 9.5 is ok but a bit fat. 285 is ok on 10 and 10.5, depending on brand and model might be a bit stretched on 10.5. 295 could be pretty fat on 10.5 though
