The stealership I bought my GS from offered the chrome OEM 18s for $2400! It's probably an easy sale to most because it does so little to the monthly payment but needless to say, I passed. However, I am now on my 2nd set of aftermarket wheels!

Well dealerships have lots of overhead so they must charge a premium, I have access to the common lexus wheels through a friend in the chroming business... I've gone through the 17s, G spiders and now settled with the 07 gs350 wheels which I like the best...

Don't ever buy wheels from a Lexus dealership. I paid $300 for each of my 20" wheels, and that included a Nitto tire on each one.

Maybe you mis-read my post, I said $300 per wheel/tire, not 300 total...
