Default GSF Rims on 2015 GS350 F Sport

Hey guys, have been frequenting this site for about a year now. I used to have a 2008 IS350 x-package until 2 months ago when I decided to trade it in for a pre-owned 2015 GS350 F Sport. So far am loving the car (I drive it in sport mode about 80% of the time).

I really like the OEM look, but and am wondering if anyone has seen pics of or put the GSF wheels on the 2013-2015 GS350.

Here is a set on ebay I was looking at: http://www.ebay.com/itm/19-BLACK-LEXUS-GS-F-LIMITED-STYLE-RIMS-WHEELS-GS300-GS350-GS400-GS430-GS460/191980676945?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D38530%26meid%3D05da308ef558414a96c2bf3fa185dec2%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D252550683367
Also, any advice on buying aftermarket wheels like this would be much appreciated. Seems like its a bit of a steal to get 4 of these rims for $700.

Congrats on the new car! I would stay away from those wheels. Pretty sure they're cheap, heavy knock-offs. Real GSF rims are forged. No way they're that cheap.

Agreed with fellow member DJP333. Congrats on the GS purchase! Definitely stay away from any wheels on eBay that use the word "Style" in the listing. They will be knock-offs that will likely crack and not adhere to the same standards OEM wheels are put through. It also states that they are "aftermarket wheels." There is only one listing on eBay with what look like factory take-off GS F wheels and they are looking for over $2100...always look for pics of the back of the wheel/inside that show hollander numbers and other OEM markings. If the price is too good to be true, it probably is especially with wheels on eBay.

It says aftermarket in the description so you know its not actual GSF rims.

I had bad experience with an aftermarket set and the whole car would shake at 60-70 mph speed and I changed the tires/wheels multiple times to no avail and I figured out the hub bore size was different then the factory size. So yeah it looks nice and all but you'll sacrifice something or the other in some way and yes there's a member here with original GSF wheels on the FSports.

Congrats on new toy! Glad you enjoy your GS....

I agree with all feedback above, no eBay for wheels! If you really want to put new shoes, just go with name brands. We have several good threads here what people have done to their GS, that helped me a lot to make my final decision.

Agree with everyone here. Cheap wheels are easy to get and not worth it in the end. I eventually went with the updated OEM 2016 gs fsport wheels.

That thread posted by Biggame are the GSF wheels that I am selling. They are 100% authentic BBS Lexus dealer take offs if you're interested. I am selling them because I already have a set on my car that i powder coated gloss black. The wheels are in excellent condition except for one curb rash. If anyone is interested contact me 949-295-2963 here are some pics of them on my car.

Wheels looks sweet btw what front bumper lip is that, ur wheels will further stand out if you paint the calipers in the GSF orange color in my opinion. Nice looking car 👌ðŸ»

Tip: When you buy car parts on Ebay, anything that has the word "style" should be an immediate red flag.

"GS F STYLE Rims"
"SK STYLE Front Lip"

Stay away from those knockoffs! You don't want to be spending your money on those and then having to repurchase a new set cause it broke.

Thanks for all the feedback folks. Will be staying away from those cheap ebay rims, and if I chose to go aftermarket, will be doing some Vossen or Velgens.
