Default Genuine L-Tuned: What rims were factory?

In Australia the L-Tuned GS300 came with OZ Racing Salina 18" rims as standard. See picture.

(Yes - that is the Sydney Opera House in the background.)

These are now impossible to find.

What rims were on offer with the USA spec L-Tuned GS300?

Pics please if possible.

Cheers, Dave

OZ Salina wheels came on the USDM L-Tuned GS4 if that's what you're asking.

Thanks. My query arose as I have seen many USA spec L-Tuned GS300's with other LEXUS rims. I am trying to see if LEXUS offered other rims on the L-Tuned spec vehicles.

Cheers, Dave

I might be a little NOOB at this, but I have never seen an L-Tuned GS300 in real life or on the internet that is in the USA. I can't say I have seen a picture of one from overseas as well.

As far as I know, the US got the L-Tuned package as a dealer option on the GS400 and GS430. I guess it was available for the GS300 as well since the mufflers/kit etc are not engine specific.

The wheels offered in the US for the L-Tuned package were the 17x8" OZ superturismos, or the 18x8F, 18x9.5R OZ Salinas.

He's talking about the GS300 because the GS400 and GS430 weren't offered down under.

He's got it right. Two different sized OZ wheels for L-tuned

I've only seen the 18" wheels before. Can you post a picture of the 17" for us?

Not that many pics of them floating around; the 18's were far better looking IMO and more popular.

A little googling found this one I think is the right item... if not they're very similar. Also made by OZ like the 18's.

I can't seem to find my image of the L-Tuned brochure which also has a good pic of them.

Ah yes those. A buddy of mine actually went and checked out that GS430. Unfortunately, it's not in the greatest shape.
