I assume metal one will be TPMS. Since I just ditched my runflats after 30k and replaced it with Potenza RE960AS (LOVE IT!!!!!!!!), I had to buy a spare donut off junked GS300. Its supposed to be 17x4 black steel wheel with a tire (cost me $135 including hold down bolt from K & P Auto Dismantlers in CA). Is this what you guy have as a spare in your 3GS? Its still in the mail, expecting it any day now, but was curious what should I expect.

gs300 doesn't have the same brakes as your gs350. gs350/430/450h/460 all have much bigger brakes and huge calipers. the spare donut will have to be special design in order to clear the brakes. that's not needed for gs300
for example back in the supra days, only the supra tt came with the bigger brakes. their donut spare was shaped differently.
but again on the 3gs300, i don't know

Here you go, just found official reference with SKU# for GS350 compact spare wheel (17x4): http://www.everdrive.com/skus/WA/539...heel--one-.htm
Here is another link discussing it @ clublexus: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=320608
Seems 3GS (and 2IS) all use the same 17x4 compact spare wheel.

does it flash or constantly on?
try this. turn the car off...put ALL the tires at 60 psi. press the start button twice. key on eng. off. go around and set ALL the tires to 35 psi within 5 mins. then reach up under the drives side dash and find the re-set button. press and hold it until the low tire light flashes 3 times. and you just re-initialized the TPMS.
if you have the yellow-ish color donut. then leave it at 60 psi.

Ok, I think I finally got rid of it! I've set psi above normal to 36. Then reduced to 34psi and tried ressetting TPMS, this time it worked. Hopefully it will stay like this!
Tell ya the truth, I dont really see the point of having such sensors when there is no way to tell which tire is about to get flat?! My 2GS did not have any sensors lol and it was fine, less headache... Anyways, thank you all for your replies!
