Thumbs up Nice!

I can't believe how well they complement the 2GS. Looks like it came OEM like that. I like it.

Staggered wise..I can't tell anything on that part. The tires are pretty close sizewise.. I have had the OE 8" and these and the Moda's which are 9" out back with a meaty 275. I prefer the wider set on the rear probably more for looks but since they are the drive wheels, being bigger seems to suit the car..

Default Still like the IS Wheels on the GS?

Now that you've had them a while, are you still happy with the IS wheels on your GS?

I'm looking for something to replace the 16's on my 2000 GS400 and those do look nice.

Thanks. Yes I do like them, I have them on the car right now. It is a great factory look and a clean way to get to 18's. Fit is perfect, look is factory Plus. They are a little harder to clean with the dual 5 spoke look, the style is appearing on many cars now. I keep checking IS350 drivers to see if they notice but I am sure they aren't concerned with an old 99 GS400!

My car is crystal white, and the wheels may not look their best on white, in my opinion. I think a darker color is better against the plain silver on the wheels.

Hey I am going to FL next week on a business trip, to Ft Myers/Lake Okichobee!

I have them for sale, either with or without tires, so let me know of any interest. The tires are next to new and the wheels are in perfect shape.

Looks pretty nice. I prefer the chrome stock GS430 wheels though.
