like these?


those are one of my favorite oem Lexus wheels. I think the silver finish looks great. when chromed, they can be a little over bling for me.(sorry Dave )

I think they'd look real good on a GS. I don't remember offset for sure, but I know they will fit no prob.
I think they are 7.5inches wide and +50 or +45 offset.

they should fit. i think they are 18x7.5?? you may want to put some spacers on the rear to push the wheels out a bit. the bolt pattern are the same. they should look nice on your GS.

You will also be running with an extra inch in diameter like the 20s and 19s fat setup with the tire specs above (245/45/18). Lots of sidewall.

Lol, no problem. I prefer the OEM finish as well, just couldn't locate them when I was sourcing the exact same wheels for my LS.

Here's a pic how the wheels will look on a GS


and actually on my LS

LOL thanks a lot guys, now i'm gonna have 50 competetors for these wheels. lol. That's ebay for ya. Anyway, i'm looking for these for this winter, and then a possible sale when summer comes around, so if i do win these, everyone who wants some, keep an eye out! I think 7.5 is a little narrow too, but with them just being winter tires, i don't care too much.

John
