Unfortunate. It's only been a little over two years since they were reintroduced. I wanted to get these, but every time I had the money I couldn't justify spending that much more on wheels again so I just ignored the urge.

Oh well, if anyone wants to sell their 19x9.5 +17 and 19x10.5 +18 in gunmetal just let me know.

I was told they were being discontinued when I ordered back in February 2010 and my order was one of the last runs of the +17/+18 offsets. I guess that was true.

Here are some recent pics of my car to add to the thread that I searched through for so long before I ordered mine.

good looking. mine are exact same color and size. initially cleaning them was my problem until i found the best way. almost 2 years and they look like day 1.
if you have a garrage wash them right infront of the garrage. drive very sowly into the garrage, wipe them again and stick some towels right behind the spokes at the bottom to catch all the water drain from the cavities, calipers and rotors. make sure to dry the face of any water so they do not dry on it to create spots. better to leave car overnight so all the water dries out. then remove the towels. key is not to drive them right after washing else all the dirty water from the calipers etc will splask spots all over. Then spray some meguires quick detailer and wipe.

Get yourself a air blower specifically for drying cars it makes life a lot easier. I never even touch the lips with a towel when drying them. I just use the air to push the water out of the creases.

I do what you do though, I dry the inner barrels of the water that pools up, but then I air dry the wheels.

I'm assuming your GT-S lips are an anodized finish like the rest of ours, I know the anodized finish is really easy to mess up.

The Meguires quick detailer you use doesn't haze them at all?

drying with microfiber towel does not take me that long but using air drier could be faster. any particular brand?.
yes i have anodized lips. I have been using this process for almost 2 years no hazing. I run into a guy that had his GT-S for only 6 months and he could not believe how new mine were compared to his.

Oh Damn! I didn't know you left town. I saw the car the other day on the road. I miss those rims so much. They were the best. Glad you got a lot of use of of them.
