Default xo Verona wheels for my grand sport?

Ok guys I've been looking at all kinds of wheels from c7 Z wheels to the xo Verona wheels. I think I've settled on the xo wheels just not sure if I go with custom painted black ,Chrome or gloss black with mirrored face. Do any of you guys have pictures of these wheels on your cars ? Also my car is a silver 2012 GS will there be any error code or speedo problems with going up in tire size since the xo Verona wheels only come in 19 front and 20 rear ? Name:  image.jpeg

I've had those ugly chrome GS wheels before. Put them up for sale immediately after i got my car lol. Got forgestars F14 in piano black. Looked amazing. Then bought some satin black cup wheels to see if i like the 19/20 combo on my car. It looked amazing. Then ordered some forgestars CF10's in piano black 19/20.

Now waiting for the snow to melt so i can throw those bad boys on.

To answer your question, can't go wrong with forgestars. And 19/20. It will really make the GS pop. Oh and black too

Did you have any error codes or speedo problems after going from an 18,19 wheel set up to a 19,20? I've heard going bigger might activate the traction control ?

If you stay within the stock tire diameter, you'll have no problem.

It's all a matter using the right tire combinations and you will have no problems with your speedometer.

I can have these wheels painted or powdercoated to gloss black. I will check the cost and PM you tomorrow. We unfortunately do not offer chroming services.

Those are custom one offs. I'd buy those in a heartbeat if they were readily available!
