99 GS400 with 73Kmiles. It is stock except for wheels. Clean and runs like new. Would like to swap out rims for stock 17" rims. The rims on it now are a bit too bling for me but look less bling in person than in photos. Very fun to drive. We also have an '01 LS430 that is nice on long trips but it doesn't have nearly the fun factor as the GS400. More photos at Photobucket:

What would a set of used 17" rims like the ones shown below cost in good condition?

Nice ride. That drivers seat looks new. Get the OE 17 inch wheels, they will look great on your car. After that may I suggest exhaust tips, chrome emblems, and 01+ or LED tail lights.

LOL. JBS are my son's initials Photoshoped over actual plate. Almost given away when you consider how much more money you need to spend on a new car with similar performance.

What do you guys think of the rim options below Photoshopped over the actual rims? Not sure what any of the rims are called. Planning to change the gold tags to chrome. Any ideas and tips are welcomed!
