I'm going to be honest... It look ok but I think the 2GS 17s look better IMO...

I definitely agree. They don't look bad, however I don't think the roundness of the spokes really flows as well with the 2GS as it does with the 3GS. Also, the color of the wheel somewhat clashes with the color of the paint.

obviously I'm biased, but I like the 06 wheels more.

+1. Maybe it needs to lowered. It doesn't flow as well as I thought it would.

Default just my opinion-

I think it's the asymmetrical shape of the spokes I don't like .

I think it looks good. Definately would look a lot better with a drop.

Hey nice job, that is a first here! I do like the non directional 5 spokes better but good job.

FYI all Lexus have the same bolt pattern EXCEPT the LS 460/600

Thanks for the pics. I like the wheels. I am considering this set for my GS as well.

Any feedback on if you still like the style after 6+ months?

X3 - Something about them looks out of place on the 2GS to me. As long as you like them

Where did you get your 430 exhaust tips and how much?

Bolt on or Tack Weld?

are your tires directional? anyone notice the rims are facing the opposite way on the different sides of the car? was that done intentionally?

can't go wrong with a solid 5 spoke on the 2gs props, a little more drop will really tighten the look up but i feel your concerns on the weather front (i live in RI haha)
