Out of those two, I'd pick the Viennas.

Bigger wheels and a more aggressive drop will do wonders.

I like the fact that the Lexion wheels have that "ball cut" detail atr the edge of the spokes... It doesn't like like "any other wheel".... Very unique...

Vienna for me as well. Too bad these are discontinued... I would
get them in 19'' for my GS if I could.

I don't think the Lexion's look too great. Here's a pic from Ebay on a
G35 coupe.

Now that looks nice but I don't think the wheels will last more than 1 day around here.

Vienna Sovereign is winning big!!!!

Anyone knows if with these offsets 19x8.5+37, 19x9.5 +43, the wheels will look nice on my car? I don't like the wheels tucked in.

You'll need wider wheels and lower offsets if you don't want the wheels tucked in.

That's because the 2IS is a sporty car...as is the G35. The LS deserves a more classy wheel, and that's the Viennas out of the two wheels.

Do you think the front, the back, or both will be tucked in?
I know a person who just found a display set and that's the offsets on that set.

Using ATSOU's LS as reference, you can see that you'll get some tucking....a little in the front and more in the rear.

The specs of his wheels are 20x9 +30 Hi Disk & 20x10 +30 Low Disk.

Here comes the LS430 wheel expert (yea, it's me )
I don't know by tuck-in u mean how low the car sits or the wheels to sit flush with the body of the car.
My front wheels sit in a little bit cuz the negative camber (really bad) from I dropped the car too low.

The offsets u have there are conservative set up. Which won't give u the flush look.
As everybody knows the simple rules of modding......WIDE & LOW. If u don't want to drop the car too low, then make the wheels wide. I had my girlfriend driven my LS430 and I drove her Corolla looking at my LS running......man.....the wide flush look is THE KILLER
