It's a guessing game at this point and because the car has yet to be released worldwide, it's too early. I wouldn't be surprised to see TRD Japan, Tom's, Tein and etc to be first on the bandwagon.

Congrats YL on your purchase. I saw your car on the lot Monday, prior to the prep work being done. I was at the dealer later that Monday morning and test drove the 06 GS430.

Good luck with the car and I look forward to seeing which direction you choose regarding wheels.

GS4DOUGIE- You saw it? Did you drive the grey GS430? Mark McCellop is a sales manager and friend of mine. I called him on monday afternoon and he said he got in Black/Black with nav. I came in Monday night and picked it up Tuesday morning.

I was afraid to drive the 430. I thought I might like it too much. We had a 99 GS300 that we sold in 2002 that we loved. We have to kids and needed to be able to put the double stroller in something bigger. We got a 2002 Landcruiser and then a 2003 Landcruiser. Now the kids are not in a stroller so we went back to the GS.

The 99 was black/black as well, that is why we wanted this one.

Does anyone know if a 20x11 5/114.3 wheel will fit GS 300 for the rear?

If so, there is a listing for 30 or 35 offset which will work?

I find it interesting 730 times this thread has been viewed, but I haven't had more suggestions.

I think I have it down to 2 options.

Antera 343's.

judging from my limiting knowledge of the first gen GS, and my understanding on the second gen GS, even if 20x11 fits, the offset would sound too low for the car.

but then of course i havent' seen the new GS myself so i don't know how aggressive wheels fit on the car. personally i wonder if lexus made any dramatic change in the setup

Just out of curiosity, Is it possible to buy the 2006 GS430 rims and have those put on a 2006 GS300 RWD? I really like those rims better than the 18'' optional ones for the GS300.

In fact, i think the GS430 rims will look perfect for this vehicle. So, can it be done?? and if so, can anyone provide me with an approximate cost and how i would go about getting this done, if i wanted to???


Thanks
