L-tuned Susp and 17" Wheels
I sold my 2000 GS400.
I still have the factory chrome 17" 5-spoke wheels. No curb rash, a couple small dings on the edge of one rim's lip. The front side is polished clean but the back has white residue. They are in good shape. The tires on the wheels are old but have more than 60% tread. I believe they are at least 3 years old. I would suggest replacing them. They would make some great smoky burnouts before you replace them though. The wheels do not have boxes, so that would increase the shipping cost.
The previous owner gave me the L-tuned suspension (F/R struts & F/R coils) which I never installed. He bought the car with the L-tuned suspension on it and replaced it with the stock setup. The suspension is still in the original boxes (2 boxes total). I bought the car (I was the 3rd owner) with 60K miles on it, so the suspension has far less than 60K miles.
I also have the SRT intake. I ripped the interior of the silicone hose that connects the metal intake pipe to the throttle body. The outside of the hose is still solid without tears, it just tore some chunks out of the interior when I removed it from the car. I do have the piggy back computer. I have all of the large hose clamps and tubing, but it might be missing 1 of the small hose clamps.
I live in the North Los Angeles area.
Please reach me by e-mail (bj_ueda@yahoo.com) or phone 425-681-0525 and ask for BJ. I will not be checking PM's here.

I'll get some pictures posted later today.

I have had a couple phone calls on the suspension already. I am pretty sure that the suspension is about a 2" front drop and a 1.5" rear drop. I never had it on my car so I don't have any pictures. Keep in mind that the shock absorbers and springs are a matched set and superior to just installing lowering springs on your car with stock shocks.
I'll post some pictures of the wheels this afternoon after I dig them out of storage.

I was sad to see the lexus go, but I had to get a truck to haul around dirt bikes.

I uploaded 1024x768 resolution photos of the wheels and tires here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/2762907...7607414543482/
The tires range from 0.18" to 0.2" of tread depth as shown in the photos. New, the tread depth is 10/32" (0.3125") according to Tire Rack.
I just polished the wheels with turtle wax chrome polish. As you can see, there are some small dings on the outer lip of one of the wheels. You can't really see it from the side view, you have to look down on the edge of the rim to see them.
There is also slight hazing or something on the chrome in some areas. I think it is mild salt corrosion from the ambient air in Long Beach, CA. Please see the photos.
I would rate these a 7 out of 10.
Here are a couple pictures from the photo set on FLICKR - please see link above for entire set.
