Default Looking for 18 inch lexus tourmaline rims (off of GS430)

Looking to get an idea on price (and possibly buy) a set of used 18 inch tourmaline rims from the GS430 (06 and up I believe). Like these:
http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/pts/325806901.html

I think these should fit my 99 LS400 and look good. If anyone has pics of these on their lexus I would also like to see them. I want 18s but I figure by staying stock lexus, I may get a better fit and have that lexus quality and ride.

Thanks

bumping it up....looking for those 10 spoke lexus 18s! Someone has to have a set sitting in their garage

I would also like to see other decently priced 18s you guys have that will clear the BBK and are in good shape. Looking for 6,7, or 10 spoke, possibly split...not looking for 5 stars or mesh. Silver or chrome would be preffered.
Something that will look classy but pimp on a black 99 LS.

Thanks!

Price isnt bad for a new set. about 1K.

too bad they dont got staggered set up.

These are 18x8 all around.

I would really prefer something like.

18x8 FRONT
18x8.5 or 18x9 REAR

Thanks for the link and video...I'm talking to the guy on craigslist now.
I like the fact they are chromed, since I've gotten used to my 16s being that way.

I'd like to be SURE this rim fits...I"d hate to get it and then need spacers or some crap. I know the center bore and offset is fine, its just the BBK clearance, but the GS430 06 should be similar enough to the 99 LS400 setup I think (??)
