I think the spoke is a bit fat for the GS sedan, however, it does not look bad at all and it is definitely different.

How come Toyota used the same wheels on the concept Camry CNG?
i tend to think they threw on a set of 15mm spacers, the toyota forums mention having to do that

If you don't mind....how much were you able to get those Highlander 19's for? Wondering if its a significant savings from getting aftermarket wheels vs some OEM's from a Toyota...

if you put big enough of a spacer, i am sure it will clear. if this wheel just barely clear the 300 caliper, i will say you need at least 20mm or even 25mm to clear 350

yes, but I dont recommend it. I threw them on for the simplicity of the install and proper fit. Spacers IMO ruin that experience, furthermore the biggesrt tire you can install is probably 235 or 245....not ideal. BTW the offset on these at + 35 are already a bit more aggressive than oem of +45...so a 20mm spacer puts them like at +15 if I am doing the math right.....you are gonna rub the fender....for multiple reasons, I dont think this is a great wheel for the gs350 / gs430 / gs460

Not bad. I appreciated much more with the second set of pictures. What would really complete it for me now would be a tasteful drop, but stock works too. Nice pick.

That actually does not look too bad! They looked pretty good on the Camry hybrid concept shown in the past in LA and at SEMA.

Mission Grove area?

I like it, but then again 5 spoke are generally a tasteful design. With them being fat spokes I think it just looks more sporty/aggressive. I still have the 10 spoke star wheels which seem less sporty but look good with the green color paint. Maybe one day I'll change em but if I do I'd likely go with something in a graphite colored finish. I'd love to see graphite colored concave 5 spokes on the 3GS. (...when I say concave I mean concave like some Giovanna Barletta wheels or something like 2nd to latest gen BMW 7 Series although these wheels aren't exactly 5 spoke, something about that inward curve)

I have to add that when the car is rolling slowly, they look quite aggressive...
