Default Which Lexus OEM Wheels look the best on 3GS?

Originally wanted the 5-spoke 18"s but browsing through Lexus OEM wheels and the ISP Mode started growing on me! For those who don't know, they are optional as a factory option for the IS. What do you think? Opinions please! I don't think I'm going for the G-Spyder/Tourmaline though.

If want to buy the car, don't fall for dealer's wheel package. I would change OE wheels no matter what.

I like the ISP style multi-spoke wheel a lot. I wound up getting
aftermarket wheels with exactly the same number of spokes (Euroline
FE w/15 spokes).

I do like the 5 spoke and the tourmalines, but my feeling at this point
is that all the OEM wheels are all too small and too heavy.

Haha, I'm the first vote for ISPs...

personally I prefer the 450h's wheels. Those are N I C E OEM wheels. The rest are 2nd best at that.

I have the ISP wheels on my IS today - they rock... runflats I'm not a fan of, but they've held up well.

Will the wheels for the IS fit the GS 350 AWD without issue? They are staggered... 225's in front, 255's in the rear...

Thoughts?

I would get 18x8's on all four so that wouldn't be a problem. The offset should be the same at +45mm? Anyone???

Could you post some pics please? Thanks!

Personally, I like the G-spiders, they have the BBS look for a fraction of the cost (if price was no object, I'd rock the BBS RS-GTs in a heartbeat). That said, I also like the 18" 5 spoke stockers which should be alot easier to clean.

Well, it's hard to come across a set of GS450h since they're exclusive rims. I do agree they look fantastic but can't get a hold of a set!

Secondly, I can't edit the poll >_< Sorry!

To get a quote from the dealer for GS450h wheels would cost way too much.

They quoted me close to $4,000 for GS430 wheels and tires.

If you really want those wheels, I'd suggest wait for a 450h owner to swap his stock ones out and buy those.
