Default I need your opinion on these wheels..

Here is the deal. I have a 1993 Lexus GS diamond white. I have stock alloy wheels on it. I have this offer: the rims are off of the 2000 Lexus GS. Two rims are in perfect condition with 2 new tires. Two other rims have some pitting on them and the tires are fairly new. I can get the whole set of chrome wheels with tires for $400. Would you do it or not? Also would rims from 2000 GS300 fit onto 1993 GS withous any modications? Also I am providing picture of the GS with those kind of rims .

my honest opinion...........save your money and get 19s, you will never be happy with those, then you will have to go through the hassle of selling them to somone else.

Pass on them. Don't buy wheels twice if you can help it.

Well I am not into 19' personally. I just want stock chrome wheels and make it look normal. Would these fit from the 2nd Gen to 1st Gen without modification?????

You asked if we would do it or not. No, I wouldn't. They should bolt on as long as they are 5 x 114.3, but the offset may look kinda crappy.

If you'd still like to go with the OEM Lexus route I'd recommend these two models:

The 18" G-Spiders



The 18" Tourmalines
