Default Any idea on what the 350's wheels will be?

Ok, no offense to anyone with the 06 300 with stock wheels but I personally think they are deplorable. On the other hand, the 430 wheels are amazing IMO. I was wondering if someone on this board happened to have a pic or some other concrete knowledge of the wheels the 350 will be shipped with. Oh, please don't let them be 300 carryovers.

Wheels will be same for the 2007 GS except for engine and nav which we all know will be updated.

Is it possible to exchange wheels at the time of purchase??
Just wondering I might be able to save some money that way...

Default There are new wheel upgrades to 18" on the RWD's

with a 5 spoke OEM wheel. The new front brakes will be on the GS350 also. There will be some new accessory wheel choices also. The factory doesn't equip the GS350 AWD's with 18's but we do it at the dealership level on occasion....

What are those wheels on the top 3 cars, i.e. 8T9, 4F2 etc.
Are those the hybrid only wheels? They look kinda hot.

If you put 18's on an AWD, will it affect anything, especially with winter driving?

Not really johnny, all you really need are amazing winter tires and you can look on thetirerack.com they have rated reviews like ice / water traction for many tires of all sizes .

wonder if IS350 18" wheels will fit (they look real similar to the 450h wheels) you can probably find a IS owner who got aftermarket and pick up a set of wheels for cheap
