I have a few weeks till my Silver/Black interior GS 350 AWD arrives. I ordered the 18 in G-Spider Wheels with Michelin tires.

Does anyone have the G-Spider wheels on their GS ? The right wheels really finish off the look of a car. Dying to see how they are gonna look on the car.

Does anyone have some pic's of their GS with the Spider wheels they could post ?

Thanks !

I'm still nervous that I made the right decision getting these wheels.

Convince me ... Please ... more pics (ha) !

At first, I really liked the G-spyder wheels. The more I see them, though, I think I prefer the 5-spoke 18s that come stock on the GS430. Did you consider those?

E-MAN ... you must be reading my mind. I was thinking the same thing, that maybe I should have looked into getting the GS 430 wheels. They look good in the Brochure. I never really got to see the GS 430 wheels in person because the dealers I visited didn't have any on the lot. Will they fit on a GS 350 AWD. I know the GS 450H wheels are a no go because I asked the dealer about them and he told me they have a different offset and can not be used for the GS 350. I wonder what the cost of the GS 430 wheels are. I still have time before the car comes in to change my mind.

Hey Flunkie. It's my understanding that the GS430 wheels will fit on a GS350, but maybe someone else can chime in to confirm. Also, I'm kind of surprised that the dealer told you that the GS450H wheels won't fit on a GS350. I assumed that the wheels for all 3 models (350, 430 and 450H) were interchangeable.

I have the G-Spyders on my onyx blue metallic '06 GS300 AWD. they look fantastic and i get compliments all the time. a coworker in my office building has the stock 17" - they look like totally different cars when parked side by side (the G-Spyders making the difference of course). personally i like them better than 5-spoke bc they're more unique. just my 2 cents. i think you'll be very happy.

I'll try to post a pic here soon.

all of the gs350s coming into the southern area are now equipped from the factory with the 5 spoke 18" wheel that is standard equipment on the gs430

Hmmm ... If my GS 350 AWD comes in with the 5 spoke 18 in GS 430 wheels, that would be sweet because I ordered The 18i n G-Spider wheels with Michelin tires.

They told me that when the car comes in they are going to put on the Spider/Michelin wheels, take the Run flats off the stock wheels and put them back in stock and I get to keep the stock rims as spares.

Maybe I'll luck out and get both ... HA !
