I don't dislike the look, but I think they make the car look more pedestrian and down market than any of the OEM wheels that come on it.

That's okay. We all have our own tastes and preferences and are entitled to enjoy whatever we think looks good. Here are the wheels on an SC430 so you can see how they were suited to that car and era.

I have these Tourmaline wheels on my 2008 GS.

They look great......especially when clean.

I personally wouldn't trade my luxury wheels for these. But If they look good to you and make you happier then you should get them. I'm sure we all wear different shoes ourselves.

I can think of plenty of other 18" wheels I would go with before this style. I think the Lexus wheels in question are quite boring to look at.

Like what? I'm open to suggestions? Bear in mind I don't like aftermarket wheels, I would want OEM wheels.

I love those wheels! I had them on my SC430...I had to use spacers to get them pushed out to the fenders, but they looked really nice!

they actually look pretty good on the 3GS... is there anyway you can have them test fitted on your car just too see how it would look?

I'd have to buy them and take them somewhere and have them mounted and then return them if I didn't like them...sounds like a pain lol

Maybe I will swing by the dealer and see if they have one they could like put on or something, maybe even from another car just to see...

the ball is in your court young fella, whatever you choose i'm sure will be a good choice. Tourmaline and the G-Spider FTW.

I saw the G-Spyder too, I'm usually not a fan of cross spoked rims...they don't look much easier to clean than the ones I have LOL
