Chuckb: You are correct sir. I saw them on your car over a year ago. 
Just based on the photos of your car and FrankWhite's I knew that switching from 20" to 18" would not be as painful because these wheels look so good. Hands down the best OEM GS wheel to date. 
BTW: Thanks for the compliments guys.

wow looks really clean guys!!! I'm gonna go ahead and get it, man..but I'm still trying to make a dermination between chrome and silver. I have a silver 02 just like SLEEPER'S (not as nice as his). People are telling me that Chrome will bring out the color of the car..haha but i dont want it to be bling bling...any suggesstions guys????
Also..what size tires are you guys wrapping on those babies?? I thinking about getting 255/45/18s since factory calls for 245/40/15 . I was gonna go a little bit bigger ....

Way to take one for the team bro! When you get those replicas, let us know who they look. Take pics if you can. I have been contemplatin gettin either the ones ur gettin or the rx330 ones. But wasnt sure how "authentic" the replicas look. So i just got a set of authentic 07' gs350 wheels.
But i really want the ones you like....so let us know how they look!!!

245/40 = 98mm sidewall height
255/45 = 114.75mm sidewall height
Remember to look for new "L" centercaps too. 98-05 Lexus ones won't fit. I compared them when I had OEM 17".
but I only use them for winter wheels
