yeah up to 1500 is my range for everything. I can get a brand new pair for like 1400-1600 so 1500 for used ones might be too much. The online places all have "free" shipping and there are stores everywhere - just trying to find something that will look sharp on the gs300...

Undecided...I kind of like the look of chrome - but as i continue to get older...sporty is probably the route I should take. It is a "professional" car and will be used for business etc...So thats why im not putting spinners on it # ; ) So yeah, Sporty - smooth - classy look, and i love the look when the whole wheel well is taken up by the tire, not sure if i need to lower it or not, but will determine that after i put rims on it. Have been lookin at 20s for the most part to avoid having to lower..

Here are some choices:
$1200 for wheel and tires
18" but a nice set for a good deal
Nice silver19"
Nice set of 20"s
There are more out there, just dosome searching in our wheel classifieds and wait for that perfect set. You can get a quality name brand set of used wheels for $1500 easy. The one's your looking at aren't great in my opinion, the offsets aren't going to be perfect etc...if you get some wheels from here you will get them from someone who is an enthusiast and got wheels that were made for their Gs, not just a generic fitment like those ones on the first post, hope that helps!

P.s- If you put 20" on it without lowering it's going to look like a 4x4. If you want the car to look low and not have to lower it as much go with 19" wheels. You also won't lose as much performance with 19" wheels (better acceleration than 20") I personally like the 19" in the link above, they look sporty/classy, come with tires and are in good shape for $1300, can't beat that for a quality wheel!

Hmmm not a big fan of any of those wheels, but the Lexani is best out of the 3. For 1100 or a little more, you can find really nice wheels in the classified section.

If $1500 is your budget, there are other brands out there you can take a look at that won't break the bank. I think most people would agree that they have better looking designs too.
-Axis
-Donz
-MRR
-Stern
-Nad
Heck, just contact Derrick @ D2autosports. I've never actually bought wheels from them, but inquired about a few different sets and he is very knowledgeable, professional, and has excellent communication skills. I'm sure he'll get you a set you really want at a reasonable (CL member) price.

Have a few ive been looking at. Let me know what you all think will look the best. Im pretty sure they will all fit, but not positive, so that might help rule some out if some wont fit...
