I am looking to widen the oem 18x8 wheels, have you seen anyone on the forums go ahead with that project? The main consideration is that the wheels are widened to the inside, thus causing a positive offset that may interfere with inboard components, depending on clearance.
On the lights, the purple I was referring to is the band at the top caused by the cutoff shield in the projector. That causes the nice purple/blue flicker effect for oncoming traffic. Below is an example:
My wife's NX has the colorband whereas the GS does not.
A few members have successfully wired the triple beam headlamps - most have a dash warning light that appears but they do work (its a pricey upgrade). The purplish hue on NX's headlamps are odd to me since you mentioned they are LEDs...usually HIDs beginning to go bad will have a purple hue (or sometimes on startup might have a different color until the bulb warms up).
The GS stock HID lamps (equipped on my '13 GS350) lean toward the pure white color w/almost no hint of blue/yellow. I'd imagine the GS's like yours equipped with LED headlamps would be similar with a pure white color. I doubt the previous owner messed with that...
I recently picked up a "new to me" RWD 2015 IS350 F-sport, Matador Red with black interior.
I'll get some photos up once I can detail the car, weather in New England is not exactly conducive to detailing at the moment.
I specifically wanted a rear drive model, so I had to purchase from the south and ship it to up, although the process was pretty horrible, I've been enjoying the car.
Looking forward to being a part of this community.

You're on the GS forum here not the IS. Congrats. on your IS!
I just bought a 2013 GS350 with the luxury package. It's Riviera Red with Flaxen interior. I bought it from Sewell Lexus, online. The first time I saw the car was when it came off the truck in Albuquerque.

This car replaces my 1995 Saab 9000 Aero.
@NickDangr congrats on the GS! sounds like you purchased the car sight unseen! Was there any contingency or return-policy offered by Sewell if the car wasn't up to snuff?

No returns, no cooling off period. Used car, as is.
Howdy!
On Monday, made a rather quick decision to purchase a 2016 GS200t F-Sport, 45k miles, Triple Beam headlamps, ML Sound, Power Trunk, Heated Wheel, Full Safety+. Paid $22.5K!
Just tell us some basics! 1. GS F-Sport 2. Atomic Silver/Black Interior 3. Nav w/ Mark Levinson 4. RWD 5. no DRS 6. Don't know yet! 7. Replaced a 2018 4Runner Limited 4WD. Have a goal to purchase a house and wanted to lower my payment... so far no regrets! I love this car!

Congrats and Welcome! Post some pics when you have a chance. There's another new GS200t owner on here that has already gotten a tune to bump his HP and torque. Maybe the 200ts are starting to come off lease and we'll start seeing more of them now...

Thanks Man! I'm loving it so far! Here are some pics!
It's a RWD, even more rare that its triple beam on a 200t (AWD wasn't offered on these models). This car was a Lexus corporate vehicle for the first year of it's life... So I'm assuming a dealer rep car drove it as it's pretty decked out... only options it doesn't have that were offered on the GS200t is the cold weather package and the HUD.
