Default Help me decide... new wheels? or keep what I have...

Time for new set of tires already!!
And, I'm thinking about getting new wheels when I get the tires.

What do you guys think about my choices so far??
I know I'll need an adapter for LS wheels... but I really like the looks!!
I have GS450h wheels on my car right now!

Did anyone tried LS wheels already??
I found decent 5x114 to 5x120 adapter... but it's 20mm thick...
Trying to find out if it's spacing out too much...

Those 7 spoke 19's from the LS600hL do look hot in the GS.

No because the GS comes with a 5x114.3mm bolt pattern vs. the LS' 5x120mm bolt pattern.

IMO, with the pricing you will be paying for the Lexus wheels, I would just get some aftermarket wheels else where!!!

I was just thinkin' the same thing....

you can get any finish, more size options, and retain the classy factor as a function of your taste in wheel selection.

If I go for LS wheels... I'll be exchanging my current wheel.
It's going to only cost me couple hundred extra...

If you decide to sell, let me know how much you would want for the GS450h wheels... Either for exchange or outright purchase. Thx.
