I like stock to aftermarket with anything, and so I agree, clean up the 17's and keep the chrome. I like larger rims from the factory "only" when the width increases, which is the case with the LS, not sure about the GS. So if factory 18's bumped the width up, I'd do it. But I wouldn't waste the current tires either, let them get down to 2/32 before making a move...
I usually get 235/45/R17 tires, except the one time that I put on 245/45/R17, which I did not like.
After my current tires are done with I want to go with 16X7.5 or 16X8 wheels.

That "not Lexus L" logo was commonly used on aftermarket chromed OEM wheels on Lexus vehicles in the 90s and early 2000s. Thats not an OEM emblem, they were used because the company who sold the wheels didnt have a license to use the real Lexus emblem.
I much prefer the chrome lug nuts also

This same logo was used in the GS400. You may not know them because it was an exclusive 2 year run. Very few cars have them. In any case, I'm not crazy about them. I m going to trash them and put something else in there.

I promise you that is NOT an OEM logo. I've seen those logos many times on chrome wheels on Lexus cars.

As far as referring to a car in female terms, it is something that I, as well as the vast majority of people I have known in many countries in two continents, have always done. I guess we took our cues from the marine world? In any case, even though I am 100% pro female, I am not that politically correct.
As I stated, I am looking for a 16 inch wheel when I wear down my current tires.
I do not like the look of over-sized wheels and specially dislike the 'drop'.
