Default Can someone identify these OEM wheels for me?





this car is a 1990 (mines a 92..).... i was under the impression that they were off an IS300 but then on ebay i found some wheels that look identical that are off a GS300..

Would they be the same wheels? I have a friend with an IS300 that is willing to ship me wheels that he says look the same as the ones in the picture, but I want to make sure they will fit (backspacing and all...) before paying all the shipping charges..

thanks guys!

The IS300 and GS oem wheels look very simular.....IS wheels are 17x7 and the GS are 17x8.

bolt pattern is the same on all of the rwd models, 4.5.. now for the ES i BELIEVE the bolt pattern is the same but the offsets are fwd biased.. the IS wheels <those in the pic> should fit the LS np, they will just look a bit skinny on that car, personally Id go with GS wheels better, same height but they are 1in wider..
