Default Toyota Matrix Wheels

Does anyone know if the Toyota Matrix 17x7 wheels will fit on the RX? Maybe with some 235 or 245 series tires...

...or how about 17" x 7" Graphite Polished Alloy Wheels that are a $400 option on the IS 300?

I thought about the IS 17's and even the GS's 17's, but like the looks of the Matrix's the best of the three. Plus, I think there is a better chance of the Matrix wheels fitting the RX than the other two.

Any definitive answer on if those 17 IS rims will fit or not? Those are probably the nicest looking rims I've seen... What can I say, I'm a sucker for 5-spoke!

Default IS300 Wheels--Definitive answer

Before you go to the IS300 wheel pics on the RX, I thought that the Matrix wheels above is the same as the 04 RX as I remember seeing it (it's been so many months now). Very close if it's not the same.

Anyway, here it is:

Matrix wheel measures 5 x 100mm according to an unverified source. If so, it's a no go.
