That is all
...... but my spring shoes are here, much CL love to my brother from another mother, GlobeCLK.......
The shoes were packaged better than a baby in the birth canal...
I'm gonna go back and visit their North American headquarters in Braselton again to see if there are any mods to these wheels....

As to LM... I know someone here in the US and a CL member as well is hiding a brand new set of BBS LM made for 5/114.3 (not re-drilled) just like Soaristo in Japan.... All I can say is I can't wait to see them on the GS when the spring comes.

Hameed found em 
Yes, they are between 24-25 lbs depending on the size. 18x8.5 front and 18x10 rear. My Weds on my previous GS 400 were 18x 8.5 front and 18x 9.5 rear so these are lighter and wider and true 2-piece wheels, the Weds were 1 piece with rivets.
They are in prestine condition like Globe(Ray) described. I did tons of research on wheels and the way I drive and the execution I want for my GS, I had to go with BBS. I must also say TEAM LEXUS had an influence on my decision as their GS and IS race cars used BBS wheels (as most race cars, OZ being the other major player).
I was very happy with the ride quality with my 18s thus did not want to go larger. Also, seeing as Lexus themselves outfitted the now discontinued GS 400 L-tuned with 18" wheels, I feel this is the optimum size for performance for the GS and I also noticed the L-tuned GS had staggered O.Zs but no lip. I must admit 19s and 20s do look better on the GS.
Hameed, I will be purchasing or trying to get sponsored and ultra high performance tires are what I want, not all season or high performance. Those tires are not really recommended for any inclement weather so my snow tires stay on for now . I am kinda laughing b/c I have on snow tires in Atlanta and you probably don't and your in Canada!

What is that saying - "Great minds..." . My wheels are also very light. We need to get together and race on a track soon Mike.

Even on my wifes car, we don't have winter tires. We just bought some very good all-seasons. I am too cheap to buy two sets of tires/wheels.
