Those are HRE 540's (Reverse Lip?) I believe and I would do Diamond Cut with polished lip.. Just enough Bling without going overboard.. On a silver GS it looks SWEET!!

Just my 2 cents!

You know I like the polished with the silver lip and I like the silver with a polished lip, but at night in the summer when the car is clean nothing ( my $.02 only) beats chrome. I would do chrome, but the silver with polished lip would look really nice.

The rims are AME Nobley's.... The reason why I'm getting silver w/ polished lip is because I want to keep it looking classy and don't want to go overboard. All chrome is too much IMO....

Okay I must agree the silver with the polished lip looks better on your silver gs. real clean and classy. I guess I'm used to my white/pearl GS. Chrome on my car I looks the best.

Thumbs up Nice!

I have those rims on my GS4.. Mine were also silver but I had them custom made to chrome shipped straight from the factory..
I hit so many holes out here in NYC with them and I never bent them.. Very strong rims! Well enjoy and good luck with them..

Great choice! I had the AME's a few years ago on my SC400 (until they were stolen! ) and they were great wheels. I have the Rezax now on my SC430 and like them even more. IMO, the Rezax are higher quality and lighter. They also come in deeper lips if you choose.

mrsypher, they look nice. Definitely get silver with the polished lip. Chrome is starting to get too much of a "bling bling" reputation to it...lol.

I keep on thinking I should get the Rezax, but I've seen them around too much lately.. I know that Work Wheels are no joke, and the quality is great too. But I never seen the those AME Nobley's anywhere.. I still don't know and I hate this crap.. Do you know what I mean?? You think you have your mind all made up and then your ready, but then out of the blue you get another idea and then your screwed.... Anotherthing is I heard the 20" AME's there is a problem with the outer lip.. I really want 20's but I might have to settle for 19's... It might be better because if I get 19's then I'd do a fat setup up front and not have to worry about pot-holes as much... Guys help me tip the scale over to one side, I need your opinions.. Thanks...
