Yeah but the Buick version of the Insignia looks much more conservative. No way GM will put those 20s on a Buick. They would look out of place

I think they would be stunning on a 3GS though. Plus wheels like these really belong on a rear wheel drive performance sports sedan not a compact front wheel drive sedan.

Pics if the Buick here

Bumped into a site that some BMW guys go to that have had good experiences with that sell replicas or OE refurbished (Lakeshore Wheel & Tire).

Yeah they do fit on 06 GS, I was planning to put them on mine but when I found out they were $2500 per wheel, no thanks lol.

That's why I was thinking about IS-F OE refinished or replicas. They look a lot better than F-Sport rims. Apparently, most of them out there are OE refinished and a lot of people seemed to have called these places and they were always out of stock... =T

I guess a similar alternative would be the G37 rims, but most people would cringe about the thought of Infiniti wheels on a Lexus. But Infiniti wheels would be a lot better in quality than a lot of aftermarket rims out there.

Slap on some Lexus emblems for that OE look. =D

Here are isF wheels on someone's 450H

the GS-F has been spotted LOL. Seriously, that looks great, esp with the other mods.

i think it looks nice, but i would never pay extra for them. if they came on the car that would be nice, but for the money, esp $2500 per wheel, the other options are pretty much endless. How much are they charging for the replicas?
