Man, I love the 3GS wheels on the 2GS! They look insane! Simple, Classy and Clean zero rice. I have a white GS so thanks for posting the photos!

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I found a set of these rims and the guy says that they are "hypersilver." Is this the same color as everyone else's on this thread? From what I have been reading, theres just a silver and a chrome colored rim on this thread. Am I right?

Just ask for close up pics of the back of the wheels if you need to verify if they are Lexus OEM. I think he may be just calling the finish by a different name.

I had very minimal shake with the 3GS wheels. I even had slight shaking with the stock 2GS wheels. I had 2 sets of 20" wheels and both times I had bad shaking and I even used hubcentric rings. It seems that larger wheels only exaggerate the existing problem. I've spent a good amount of money replacing suspension related parts to try and get rid of the problem but it never seems to improve.

They fit no problem. I have 18x8 with 235's and 18x8.5 with 255's lowered on L-tuned suspension. The wheel and tire combo really makes the car look and handle much better than the stock 16s. Plus the set up didnt cost an arm and a leg. (****ty cell phone pic below)

Do they 5 spoke 3GS wheels clear the LS400 Calipers or do they still need spacers?

They cleared...I didn't need any spacers. And I even used the same lug nuts from my stock wheels.
