I put a set of 18" F-Sport rims, designated for the IS AWD, on my GS430 so I'll have an extra set of rims for my winter Blizzaks this fall. I stayed with the 18" so I could retain my existing tires. This will avoid the need to take off and replace the tires on the one set of rims. Looks good.

If you go to the first post in this thread, you'll see a Matador GS, same color as mine with the rims, the only difference with mine is I've got stock rotors and the calipers are painted black courtesy of the Lexus mechanic.

Niceee I like the IS F and these accessories will make the other cars better. The only thing I don't like about the IS F are the dual stacked exhausts on each side...

Here are more F-Sport GS pics from Toyotafest 2009 in Long Beach a few weeks ago:

I think Lexus should introduce a new set of F-sport wheels to keep it interesting. The GS looks very nice though, The dark red looks really nice on the GS.(not feeling the front grille though)

The rear diffusor is nice, but they shouldve given it more shape and form.

The wheels I hope are wider for the GS and not the same size as on the IS. It clearly needs spacers. The grill is just odd to me but it is different. I think the GS bodystyle is "big body" so think spokes don't work as well. They do show the brakes off well and they are lighter than OEM.

That said I might still get them lol

Mind you that most of what you see are for show, and not actual production products by Lexus.

The custom body paint, custom clear matte lens sprays, custom CF grill and spoiler, and many other things are NOT F-Sport nor Lexus products.

Show cars and production cars are never the same...
