Post F-Sport Rims on 2nd Gen Lexus GS

Hi Everyone,

Do any of you have pics of the F-sport rims on our 2nd Gen GS bodies? It seems to be a rim choice many have not embraced or rather prefer rims by Volk, Work, etc. If you do have pics, please share!

Also, do you have an opinion on the Lexus F-sport rims, and their purpose in the market for our vehicles?

Thank you,

Vish.

I've only seen photoshops of it I believe. No one has actually put them on. There are a few 2GS guys that do have the IS-F wheels on though

Hey,

I've seen the IS-F rims on our cars also...but the F-sport are hard to come by. I'm hoping to scoop the 19" (staggered set) soon, so hopefully it goes through and I'll show the pics.

Thumbs up

I would def like to see some pics if you get them. Some have said they're a bit too sporty for the 2GS but I think they would look good.

Update: ordered the 10 spoke F-sport wheel (full face) and should be in today or tomorrow. Will install tires within a week and post pics within the same time.

Very excited!

Not so sure how I feel about the wheel design, but the car looks pretty aggressive.

I really like em personally. But I may have gone chrome on SBM. Best GS color, hands down.

Looks really clean.
