Default '06 rims on 2nd gen GS - feedback/photos?

All -

I was wondering if anyone had put '06 IS/GS/GX/etc rims on their 2nd gen GS and how they looked. I'm looking for factory Lexus rims here. I saw a set of chrome five spokes in the 'for sale' section earlier this month, but I was more curious about the "tourmalines", "g spyders" or the "ISP" style rims found on the IS. I did a quick photoshop of the ISPs on a GS (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=191170), but I would love to see real photos of these or the other rims on an actual car.

Post photos and feedback if you it. Thanks!

(Mods - I posted here to solicit feedback from GS owners. I'm not trying to buy them or find where to get them, but if this belongs in a different section, feel free to move it. Thanks!)

Chuckb has stock 06 GS 18" rims on his 01 430. He'll probably post up pix in a little while.

I think the 06 wheels look great on the 2nd gen GS. As the others have said Chuckb should have some pics in his gallery

ChuckB's ride look great with the new rims. I think it is a clean and simple design, yet makes a good statement. Props to ChuckB!

Has anyone seen the rims below in person? I just ran across them on the Carson website and they look pretty mean.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm no expert on wheels (or anything really ) ... do you know if the OEM '06 GS rims (same as on ChuckB's g-ride) will fit a BBK if I went to one eventually?
