I also love my GT3s...

One note of caution: They are rather heavy ~ 24-25lbs for the 18x9.5s

The other thing is that offsets of the GT3s are marginal at best. +55 on a 9.5" rim gives you a great looking lip but it also rubs on my car (slightly lowered on kg/mm springs... )

I'm keeping my 17" ASAs for track wheels- lighter and better offsets...

I do like that polished lip of the LE28s... They really do transform the wheel IMO

If I ever get tired of the GT3s - for looks I'd be tempted to go with the Meister S2R.

For a balance of looks and performance the LE28s would fit the bill quite nicely.
