....at that point is where the downhill starts....when you go in to the doctor (primary, eye, dental) and they just start telling you that's just how it is. Honestly I think my mid-to-late 30s and early 40s were some of my favorite years so far. Twenties were pretty good but looking back I was still learning a lot and luckily I had some awesome people around me as mentors.I'm hopeful there are still other good years ahead - I have friends from mid-20s to mid-90s and one thing I've learned from folks from older generations is that it all comes down to your attitude towards life. If you get cranky with life as you get older you'll be miserable - if you accept that your body starts to fall apart, life doesn't always go how you planned it, sometimes things won't seem fair, but in the end it's your attitude that makes you bitter or grateful to see another sunrise. It's your choice.

I don't know..... I think after last night we all aged about 20 years in 90 minutes... Sorry...couldn't resist.....
Sort of funny that I also happened to watch a Robin Williams film last night not knowing his statement from 2013 about Canada...."You are like a really nice apartment over a meth lab." which has been the going meme all over the place today.

@LexusGSboy i totally agree on the center caps. I don’t know why, but aftermarket center caps just take away from the car for me (no offense meant to anyone here).
I have seen that hubcap haven site before but never heard anything about it, so it’s good to hear it’s reputable. I wonder where they obtain their stock? Maybe junk yards and then they refinish the wheels. Or eBay?
also, since people are posting about wheels they have available, if anyone has non-staggered 2016+ f sport or 2016+ lux package wheels, I may be interested.

I think it used to be that they got their stock from junk yards, etc... I'm pretty sure they used to be the go-to place for folks with classic cars. Maybe they still are, I remember their ads in the back of car magazines.

I can tell you from experience you probably have about 7 more years left....at that point is where the downhill starts....when you go in to the doctor (primary, eye, dental) and they just start telling you that's just how it is. Honestly I think my mid-to-late 30s and early 40s were some of my favorite years so far.

I'm hopeful there are still other good years ahead - I have friends from mid-20s to mid-90s and one thing I've learned from folks from older generations is that it all comes down to your attitude towards life.

Since this thread has gotten traction, any folks in SoCal preferably, if you have takeoffs for a GS350 of any kind (preferably non staggered, darker stock wheels but open to all) in good condition please don't hesitate to shoot me a PM. Thanks!

I also really like stock wheels for my own vehicles but I have seen some nice aftermarket wheels that I think go well with the GS. For me the aftermarket logos can also play a role in how good the wheels look - swap those out for Lexus logos and that right there can make a huge difference to me.
When I was looking for info on the LUX wheels someone suggested this site:
https://www.hubcaphaven.com/c/825/le...eels_rims.html
I can't recommend or not recommend them but they do have OEM wheels of all sorts for the GS. The selection changes regularly. Prices seem to have gone up a little since January/February but not ridiculously.
I think this is the company I had recommended to me long before the internet was around - according to their site they've been in business since 1971...
