Default 5-spoke wheels

Hi

I'm interessted in some 18" wheels for my 2000 GS300. I really like the new 2006 18" OEM wheels but they are just too expensive for me
As an alternative I have thought of the AEZ Ultra wheels as shown on the pictures (only 1 picture is allowed, so I will reply on the thread in order to show the other one). Do you think they will look good on my silver Lexus?
If anybody knows how to "paste" them into a Lexus using a program like Photoshop, it would be nice

I don't if any of you got these wheels, maybe they're not on the market in the US (I live in Denmark, Europe). I really think they are sexy, but don't how they will look on the Lex...

Kim

Actually it's a man's name in Denmark :-)
I don't think I'm familiar with the lip term. Do you mean kind of a ring/border around the wheel?

The lipped wheels look better but if you're on a budget go with the AEZ. I know someone on here has even put Lexus RX wheels on their GS and I think they came out looking nice too so there's an alternative for you as well.

they look nice, but I agree with earlier posts, a deep dish wheel would add depth and a unique look to your GS; deep dish wheels tend to enhance the GS's bodydesign, but that's just my opinion.. and you are you have your own taste.
