Need help deciding on wheels for my 13 GS
So I'm looking into wheel options for my 13 GS, I'd like to ask for some suggestions. My current choices are either a Vossen HF3, Forgestar F14 deep concave, or APEX VS-5RS's. Probably in some sort of Anthracite or Gunmetal color. Open to any and all ideas though. I'll post some pics of the car. The color will be changing slightly unless I can get more of the current wrap color, but it will be very similar (around the same shade of green but maybe with some yellow tone too it). I'll post the current options as well. Let me know what you guys think/suggest. Should also note the brake calipers will be re-powder coated in more of a metallic copper.
The APEX VS-5RS's
Vossen HF3's
Forgestar F14 Deep Concave (ignore the color)
Curious to hear your thoughts! Thanks guys!

So the APEX are only currently sold in 18/19 setups at the moment. The others I would probably do a 19/20 setup.

Apex is no forgeline for which I've bought many sets from gerry at custom wheels for less. But Apex had in stock 18/19 and tire rack had tires. One week later and mounted and ripping versus waiting 8-10 weeks to order top brands.
Was quoted 250 apiece to sand blast chrome off and powder coat factory rims. And Apex was near 450 new each. I couldn't drive with chrome ones on.

I am kinda leaning towards the bronze, that looks sharp. Apex is the top contender at the moment. Plus I feel like theres more tire options at 18/19
