Default There will be 3 "18" inch wheel options

1. The 5 spokes we see on the GS 430 (which I think is exclusive to the GS 430)
2. The "Spiders" people have been talking about.
3. Multi-spoke. I was at the dealer yesterdsy, they had a GS 300 with these wheels. They are polished and look GORGOUS. Tires are 245/40/18 all around.

The 17s we have seen on the GS on the show circuit are standard.

You SURE about these 5 spoke rims as option on GS300's? Or, are these options for the GS430? Source of info? Thanks

Oh, I see you think 5 spoke are only for GS430 - hope they offer these for GS300!

G-Spiders on a Gen 2:


Lexus Aftermarket Accessory Wheels for the new GS:

18" G-Spider


18" Tourmaline Wheels


All Photos Courtesy of Sewell Lexus Parts www.lexus-parts.com

The 5 spoke 18" factory graphite wheels are exclusive to the GS430. The other 18" accessory wheels i.e. multi spoke 18" and the G-Spider 18" are Lexus Accessory Wheels that can be found at your local Lexus dealer parts department for any Lexus model. The 18" wheels are NOT factory options. It's up to your region or local dealer to package these wheels on your GS300, GS300 AWD or GS430.
