Help with new wheels
I've decided to keep my snow tires on my OEM 16" wheels and get some 17" rims. I'm looking for a more subtle/OEM look. Only exterior mods that I have is the trunk lip spoiler. I've looked at a bunch of rims and narrowed it down to these, any additional suggestions are welcome.
Any opinions? (excuse the quick chops)
Stock:
NEX-O-PX5
NEX-O-NT5
NEX-O-TS10
Excel-BK
TSW Rocket-8

Honestly I was leaning towards more spokes until I chopped those 2 5 spokers on. Now I'm leaning towards the 5 spokes and you may be right.
Do the stock 17s come in Silver finish? I'm not crazy about chrome.
Are these ebay wheels legit? They seem awful cheap.

The GS is a pretty large car, I would try to go 18" minimum. Alot of those ebay 17's are so cheap because they are not made for your Lexus, then the vendor wants to send you huge spacers when you say they dont fit. Caveat Emptor and happy hunting.
Heres the MRR HR2's I'd go for these in 18"

The problem with 18" rims is that the car needs to be lowered to look right. I'd look like a 4x4 with 18" rims on stock height. I'm not ready to lower the car. I'm content with the handling and ride as is (it keeps me in check )
