Default Crystal White GS with chrome 5 Spokes !!

OK, I just got done swapping these for my spider G chrome rims....The tires are general UHP 245/45ZR18s. Very smooth and VERY quiet ride. No problems with rubbing. As you know, I got these 5 spokes for my last GS300 that was purchased back by Lexus, my new to me GS300 had chrome spider Gs that I simply did not feel were sporty enough. I think they would look much better on a black or a darker GS. By the way they are in the classifieds in case anyone wants them..Here is the link.....

So far these mods have been done....
BT/NAV/DVD bypass
sli ipod adapter
trunk LED lights (2nd one installed)
20% tint
lost front license plate


here is the new look.....

I too have a Crystal White GS. I have 18" Tourmalines.. they look awesome on the White car. i think the machined surface gives it a nice clean sporty look. I will try to take some pics and show you.

I think the 5 spokes are great looking rims but i like your SPiders better.

Like the 5 spokes waaaaaaaaay better! Where did you get the tires? Did they do a good job mounting and balancing? I'm freaked out because I have had 3 different tire shops scratch wheels on my previous Porsche and MBs!!!

I got the tires from tirerack, the rims were swapped down the street at a mom and pop place, No scratches. These guys have installed tires before for me without any problems.

Looks good but I prefer the look of the G-Spiders.

The 5-spoke is much better.

I love the combo of white with chrome rims. Looks great on any car...
