Chuck, I agree with blacksc400. The Michelin PS2's can't be beat. Just ask Glen (RMMGS4) You will not regret making that choice.

I think those rims will look sharp on your car. Do you have any plans to lower your 430?

I can't wait to see what it looks like, I would like to do something like that, but I want the ls430 chrome rims, I think those would look super hot on 2nd gen gs's. I can't wait to see the pics, congrats!

Thumbs up GS 18's

Chingado..... those are sharp wheels... Leave it to Lexus to design these... from the 2GS 17's.... Nice. Are they the same silver or a diferent color? Graphite? Hyper? I am definately getting those, since I am an OEM look guy.. How much were they and where can I get those in So Cal??? Hurry up and get them on the car already!!!!

I've seen a set of these on a silver, 2nd gen GS. The car looked like it should have come that way from the factory - not too big, but a definite improvement. Much like 2nd gen GS 17's on the 1st gen SC...

getting closer, PZeros came today........tires might be mounted tomorrow if I have time.


for those of you who had asked where they came from and how much $- sorry it took me so long, but I had to check with Darrel first to see if more would be available, and he was gone a week. they are from Sewell Lexus, Darrel Diller. ddiller@sewell.com tell him Charlie sent you
They are $200 each, but he doesn't have anymore yet.
