Hey guys finally talking the time out to do some work to change up the GS 300 a bit and of course if u wanna do some changes, Wheels are like number 2 on the list, 1st is tint no doubt (for me at least) but anywho im looking at three wheel choices, but cannot decide on which one. I really like the

18" RX 330 wheels on the GS i think that those wheels make it look so classy. If i were to choose them they would have to be chrome though unless i can somehow find them in the graphite finish like on the performance package of the RX.

2nd is 18" ASA AR1, always liked these because it looked sorta BBS(ish) and i like the lip on the wheel. plus the finsh i really do like because the center part is like a silver finish and the actual rim of the car is chrome.

3rd is 19" ASA JH8. I like these because on my previous 02 camry, i had this actual wheel but it was 18" and like the ASA AR1 its silver with a chrome lip.

With the ASA JH8 the tire probably would be more expensive because its 19" in diameter. and i dont know if i would have to get like some spacers or some special wheel fit stuff for the RX wheel.

Pics below in order of
RX
ASA AR1
ASA JH8

All comments would be SOOOOO appricated!

ASA AR1 and put on BBS center caps
aren't the RX wheels too skinny?

AJL0365

no i dont think so, i recall a member on this site that has or had RX wheels on his GS and with the RX wheels i been told that u have to apply spacers.

huh, I was under the impression that they were skinny. I'm sure the offset can be fixed with spacers though.

they all look pretty good. the rx wheels are 7 or 7.5 wide I think but they'd be hubcentric which is always better.

the 2nd gen GS 5 spoke 17s are nice imo too.

or........ how about oem 3rd gen GS wheels like that guy chuckb has?

Looks nice ...
Chuck how do those OE's compare to the G35's?

i do like the 18" GS wheels on your car, i was actually looking at those but wanted something that i know people or probably wont have on around here. I have seen plenty of 2nd gen. GS here with those wheels on it. so thats why i wanna apply the RX wheels because they kinda in a small sorta way look the same and imo the one of the best wheels Lexus has made

What exactly do u mean "hubcentric"? do you mean the the center of the wheel will fit exactly right with my GS?

I do also like t he 2nd gen GS 5 spoke but want something atlease 18" in diameter

chuckb

thanks. I can't speak for the Infinity wheels, but mine are 18x8, +45. The one main difference tho is that the GS wheels are hubcentric.

hubcentric means the wheel hub bore is exactly the same size as the hub so there are no chances of vibrations caused by the wheel not being centered on the hub. it also takes the strain off of the studs. this is how all factory wheels are and also expensive custom wheels like HRE etc.

I say the JH8! I'm a really big fan of a clean lookin' 5 spoke, IMO you can't go wrong with it.
