Default GS or IS 17" rims on our SC ?

after looking around for 18" aftermarket rims, I've realized that it may be easier to just get the 17" rims made for the IS and GS ?
would this be a easier / cheaper alternative than aftermarket rims?
anyone with pictures of either on our SC's please post. I'd really like to see how they look on our cars. Thanks!

"IS" rims are pretty cheap .. I think they look good, but there too skinny 17x7 blah... I wouldn't even concider them .. the GS rims are ok though 17x8 and around 800-1000 with tires on them .. at least thats what I've seen

but the words, GS, IS, are too short and limited the searching function

i guess, some pix would really help

take a look at my sig pic, those are the Lexus L-Tuned 18's.. 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the rear.. fits a 265/35 in back to match stock wheel & tire diameter perfectly.

The IS rims look good, but a bit small for my tastes. plus you need 18's for a big bake upgrade
