Default Need Opinions on Wheels

My oem Lexus wheels are warped, and I need new wheels before they ruin another set of rotors.

Looking to spend about $1000 including wheels and tires.

I have a white GS400, and I need some opinions on what you guys think are my best options.

Being that honest in that price range i'd just buy some 17" OEM 5 Spokes with some new rubber and call it a day. Can never go wrong with a stock clean GS my friend.

If you're wanting to go aftermarket with some stance and whatnot.. Varrstoens would prolly be the closest thing although you'll spend around 1500 with tires for those wheel unless you find some used.

I am open to buying used. How much do g35 wheels go for? Some of those look real clean on the GS

With that budget your best bet is to look in the wheel classified section for a used set with tires.

or you can go the cheap wheel ebay route as-well as tires and maybe squeeze right under 1K

Those look sweet! is that $434 price, for 4 wheels? Also the "compatibility test is telling me that the those wheels aren't compatible with the GS400, but the bolt pattern is 5x114.3 - which is what the GS has, correct?
