If Lexus started making some legit oem 19's we wouldn't have this debate. C'mon at least have 19's as an optional upgrade. Those Fsport ones don't count cuz they are ugly. Two thumbs down for Lexus and their ultra conservative wheels. Maybe if they started putting more aggressive wheels and tires on our cars, our cars would handle better and wouldn't lose to all these damn camparo test.

Rims dont look too bad at all, IMO. I wanna say the infiniti cap is smaller the lexus cap, not a direct replacement? Ive' seen them on craigslist for 1k with tires in the bay area

+1....I dont care if they are THE OEM F-Sports 19's; i won't spend a penny on those.

IMO, the F-Sports 19's design is the solid example of Ricey wheels on a refined automobile.

What are you talking about? These look nothing alike.
Please don't destroy the lexus name by putting enkei wheels on your car.
Don't be rice, buy these.

Really? They dont look similar at all?

Enkei rims aren't rice anyways. if anything, they are some of the most respected and high quality wheels you can buy today. You just don't hear it around here because Enkeis are more for racings than luxury cars. But since the GS is suppose to be a 'sport' sedan of some sort, I think Enkei wheels are okay.

And heck for $6k, I could think of so many other wheels I'd get that looks more unique

What is this world coming to?! Putting wheels made for another model Lexus on a GS!!! Do the right thing, sell your GS and buy an ISF if you want those wheels.

And enkei wheels?! a GS only deserves HRE, Kenesis, etc. Anything less is complete rice

Wow. I agree with you rominl. Since when did Enkei become rice? People have been putting Enkei wheels on Ferarris and other high end cars before Lexus was even a brand. There was a time when it was "THE" wheel to have.

Double lol on that. You would have to be a fool to buy those for 6k. Especially when the Infiniti wheels look exactly like them for 1/6th the price with tires.

I think u missed the sarcasm from my post. It's kinda hard to detect from a single post. I was mocking all the label wh0res who think g37s wheels will tarnish the Lexus image.

slap on a lip, and you're gold

ignore the fact that these are infiniti (well really, enkei) wheels for a minute. They look good don't they?
Jack, is that an actual lip you can buy or did you create that in PS?
