Seems like a pretty good price, and possibly I would be interested in your rims without the rubber though (what size?) - also are these run flats with the tire pressure sensors?
The GS 450h rims are very distinctive & attracted me to the car plus the performance & mileage. Notwithstanding it is 1 of about 5000 distributed in North America. Downside is that if you are into mods like the IS350 or 2nd gen crew, there does not seem to be much out there yet.
If you have a snow season like I do here, the choice is clear - either drive a winter vehicle (my Camry is currently stored for such) or swap your tires. I may chose to drive the Lexus in the winter at some point so -1 -1 the tires to a 17 inch rim and P245 45 R17 or P225 50R17 (from P245 40ZR18), for the traction
The GS 350 rims or GS430 17 inch rims would still give my car a decent look in the winter as opposed to some cheap looking painted rims
The other thing for me is whether to go with a run flat winter tire - I am initially thinking no as extra tire pressure sensors add about $400 - I can handle driving around for the winter with the TPS warning light permanently on - any thoughts on this idea appreciated

OK so I got a great deal on the 18" GSh rims with sensors and caps for $397.50 Cdn each.
I will add my own rubber. Suggestions drivers? I would like to improve cornering and wet weather slippage if possible.
So my factory GS250rwd rims 17's with/without rubber are for sale. 3600 miles on them. Offers?
(That's you Leemer! )
