Default Questions about the 5-spoke factory wheels

Do the 5-Spoke factory Wheels come in 2 sizes?

Is it 17" for the GS350 and
18" for the GS430?

Are they both available in alloy or chrome?

Is the chrome option built in Japan, or do the dealers just chrome the alloy ones stateside?

I'm looking for a set for my GS300 here in SoCal, and was wondering what the options were.

Thanks in advance

Don't know for sure but here's what I think.
They come in size 18 only.
They chrome them locally but can be ordered chrome from the factory. From talking with a guy at the dealership it sounded like they make more money chroming then locally.

All GS 18" 5 spokes are 18x8 in a slight graphite finish. Chroming can be ordered OEM but I would say 95% are outsourced by the dealer.

You can usually find some in our wheel classified section. Thanks.

No, like other says all 18" for all GS350 RWD and GS430.
For chrome, search ebay and you can buy a freshly chomed set for like $500 exchage or $1000 outright.

GS350 AWD comes with 17" wheel but they are not 5 spoke, more like 8 spoke. Living CA, you probably never seen a GS350 AWD with 17" wheel.
