That tirerack guy u talked to must be on crack...The bolt patern fits bc its 5-114.3..i think the reason he said that was maybe because the 43 offset wont clear the front 07 big calipers (like i said earlier, theres a 35 offset out there) OR that it wont except tire pressure sensors...Guess his computer just said it wont fit...if u go to the tirerack site and pick an 05 GS 430/300, they actualy show the photoshop pic of the wheels on the car and tell u they fit...

Hey guys, just got the wheel and finally can post pics (lots of pics)....Its a RAYs RMP rem/roga 20X8.5 with a offset of 43...to my supprize the wheel did clear the front calipers by more then 3mm, wich is more then plenty, and that means these wheels fit our cars...howerer. the wheel did came damged from tirerack with a large ding on the other part of the polished lip...Also, tirerack advertised these wheels weighing at 23lb but it really weighs 24lb.....Anyways, the fit and finish on the wheels is not up to par for a $1000 wheels...Nothing major on the fit and finish, just not perfect, excluding the ding.
NOW PICS....

I still like the wheel but I wouldn't want an offset that high.

A 43 offset is not that bad at all, its pretty much hard to find such a mild offset like this on an aftermarket wheel and clear the calipers!!!...Stock is 45 offset, uasually aftermarket wheels have offsets of 40-35 and some have crazy offstes of 30 and beyond...

Looking at those pics, it doesn't look that bad. I vote for keeping them. They look like quality wheels to me. I just love 5 spokes.

Seriously, those are the sexiest 5-spoke wheels I've seen. I would go for them but they're just not in my price range =[. But hey, if you can save the money derf i'd say go for it!
