I like it it would most likely look amazing on your car. However have you considered vossens? I'll try to find the ones I'm talking about but they look amazing on the GS saw someone else with them on and am probably going to do the same.

Are you referring to the CV3 5 spoke? That was my first choice.

Nope. Go with something FF or forged rather than cast

In 40+ years of driving I have never had an issue with a cast wheel. Now, some wheels mfg. may have gotten very cheap in their process so a decent brand name is always wise. Thanks for the tip.

Sorry, I should have clarified what I was trying to say. IMO, if I were to upgrade stock OEM wheels, I would try to go for an upgrade in both quality and aesthetics. There are a lot of great wheel designs, but getting a super heavy wheel is going to be noticeable on all 4 corners. Flow-Formed wheels are a great compromise. Additionally, when you're paying for a non-essential upgrade, you want to put your money into a product that will last and stand the test of time.

I think Vossen's are decent and they have several wheel styles that are going to look great on our 4GS.

Understood, not planning on putting heavier wheels on the car. I am doing a lot of window shopping before I pull the trigger.

Those would look good - but if you go Vossens, the CV7's are discontinued but i'm sure you can still find some reputable sellers with leftovers.

They are my personal favorite Vossen's on the 4GS: https://lexusenthusiast.com/2012/10/...sen-cv7-wheels

+1 they look like very cheaply made wheels. Not a fan of the fake 3 peice look they're going for. Not sure why they would throw the fake bolts in the middle of the barrel.

These are my wheels:
Vossen VPS303
20x9 +31
20x10.5 +41

Very nice car you have there. I wish the GS-F style bumpers were available for 2016+. All the ones I see are for the 13-15's, and unfortunately the GS-F bumper itself is not a direct fit.
