Default MY 2013 GS 350 18" wheel thoughts/opinions

Hi guys. Got a question for you all, which gen of IS wheels would you guys choose to put on a 4GS between the 2IS and 3IS wheels? Nebula grey exterior so keep that in mind. Also what tire size would you guys run on these for the 4GS?

With these options I would go with the 3IS wheels, even though I think at least 19" (GS F Sport, GSF, RCF, RC F Sport, or ISF wheels) would look better haha. Just check on whether they will fit. I could be be wrong but I believe I heard somewhere that only the IS350 wheels fit our GS, but again I could be wrong. As for tires, I'm not sure about that but probably the stock GS 18" sized tires would be best - whatever that size is.

These are my favourite OEM IS wheels.

Reps are very common for the 5 spokes, watch out when you shop for them.

These are rep 5-spike wheels. Not mine, but a friend of mine got them as winter set.

They look 95% like the real ones.

Just something to be aware of if you decide to go for the 5 spokes.

My vote would be for the 3IS wheels. I feel like they took a design cue from the LFA wheels:

odd question but i'll play.
3GS for sure as it will not age the look of your 4GS as badly. 2IS is just too old of a design, lacking the brushed or darker look for the newer cars.
keep in mind that outer diameter of 4GS tires are larger than 2/3IS so your tires should have a larger sidewall.

compare your stock GS tire sizes and try to stay near it.

These ones that I posted are OEM, not reps. They make replicas like these but the pic I posted are the OEM wheels. Reference this CL ISF thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...a-19-rims.html

And this is a different pic of the same car and wheels I posted from an Auto Spies article on the 2010 ISF

I do like the 19” rims you posted from the ‘10 Lexus IS F, but they are hard to track down in oem guise unless you order from the dealership. All the ones I’ve seen for sale on the net are replicated. I’m done with replica wheels they crack and bend to easy in cold climate states.

I figured the OEM are hard to find. Yeah I agree that all the ones I've seen for sale online were replicas and you can easily tell. I'm definitely not promoting the replicas!

well then.... i might consider those, they are very nice. I wanted to stick to 18’s since im paranoid about potholes. Im in canada and driving around here youd think it rained basketball sized meteors daily what with all the craters here.

i love these wheels but why the hell are they so expensive? They only come in polished aluminum but these seem darker than that.
