Yeah, 4k is too much. At the recommendation of another board member I contacted Sewell Lexus (www.lexus-parts.com). They did a wheel trade w/ me. They shipped the chromed OEM 18' wheels to me. Once I had them put on my vehicle and the old wheels removed I sent my wheels to them, postage paid. It cost $800 and I'm really happy with my decision to go w/ them. My dealership wouldn't go any lower than $1200 on the cost of chromed 18" wheels even tough they scratched the finish on my wheels at 3500 miles. They did at least mount and balance new tires that I bought on my Chrome wheels from Sewell Lexus at no charge.
If any of you contact Sewell for parts, wheels, etc., make sure to speak w/ Darrell and mention you're a ClubLexus member for special pricing.

Yes, they are chrome 18" OEM wheels. I have a set on my car and cost me $500 bucks. What you do is you go to Ebay and there is a guy there that will work with you. Just search under lexus 18" chrome wheels 06 GS. He is a little slow, at least for me he was, but he does quality work at rock bottom prices. He was a little slow because his company chromes 2400 wheels a day, but if he has the wheel already chromed you can expect them right away.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get these wheels with a polished
aluminum type look instead of chrome? The regular OEMs are pretty nice
and I am thinking of putting them on my car (to replace my 17's), but I am
afraid that the finish might be a bit dull in graphite.

yes, they are the 18" oem wheels, supplied by sewell lexus as jwaters mentioned above. the price was under $800 shipped, and it cost me about $100 for the swap with removing the old, mounting the new, including the tire pressure sensors and then balancing again. local lexus dealers were going to charge $1200+ so i went with sewell instead and i am very happy with the purchase and replacement of the OEM graphites.
