why all the hate?
the wheels look good. i think they look better than all the other lexus OEM wheels.
and yes, they will fit. same bolt pattern. no bbk to clear. they fit the G35 sedan perfectly. no reason they wouldn't fit the GS with/without spacers.
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?

because they can be had for $1200 or less 2nd hand.
try getting quality wheels for that price. or wheels that even look semi good for that price.
a lot of aftermarket wheels look like ***. and some people don't like fat lips

We don't see Benz guys throwing BMW wheels on their cars.
You know what, lets throw Accord rims on a Camry. Better yet, lets throw Hyundai rims on the GS.
Why stop there, lets put Yugo wheels on the GS if it fits.

you guys are so narrow minded. I'd rather have a quality factory wheel (this one made by Enkei), than something from a small Miami wheel shop that will go bankrupt in a year or two.
change the center cap, and you'd never be able to tell what oem wheels they are.
they would just be another set of aftermarket wheels for all i know.
half of the people here HATE the F-sport 19's, myself included. There's no point in brand loyalty when the brand makes some ugly crap.
and others don't want to spend $3000 on bbs is-f's
one of our guys here put highlander 19's on the GS, and it looks fine
it's not about the brand. it's about the look. if it looks good on the car, roll with it.
The difference is that Yugo wheels look like *** on a GS.
Accord wheels look like *** on the camry, and vice versa.
and Hyundai rims look like *** on a GS.
These infiniti wheels actually look classy and sporty on the GS.
what if lexus sold these... no one would be btching:

Swapping OEM wheels from one brand to the next is incomprehensible to me. Its not just about "the look", thats why we have people buying knock-off crap.
Its about doing what is right, because it is right.
Its amazing the loopholes people come up with to "justify" something asinine. People have overdone it to the 2GS and I said from day one its stupid. People still do it. If people start doing it to the 3GS its time for me to just by a Mini Cooper and call it a day.
This is no different than the asshats clapping and giving high-fives to VIPstyle Staggered wheels on FWD cars.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!?!??!?!
When did common sense become this damn uncommon?
He doesn't have to spend tons of money on wheels, he can find some good 19s or 20s from many of our vendors for under $1500.

I just see it as an Enkei aftermarket wheel. There's no right or wrong.
who makes these rules?
and in this case, the OP didn't ask for an opinion. only if it fits.
But it seems pretty common here for a person to get shat on if they even bring up another carmaker's name.
Even if the wheel looks good, has perfect fitment, is OEM quality, not a knockoff, people will sht on it just because it was on another car first.
i don't see it as any different from putting IS wheels on the GS. If you wanted the IS wheels, you should've bought an IS, right?

there's a right way, and a wrong way. surely implies a set of guidelines/rules/etiquette to me
I'm not angered at all. i actually find all this pretty funny .
But please explain to me what's wrong with good looking wheels which are not knockoffs, made by enkei, with factory quality, on a GS. I want to see where the 'common sense' comes in.....
Would these wheels become 100% acceptable if they came with Enkei center caps instead of Infiniti ones?
one person likes this wheel design, and there's no other wheel like it on the market, why should he buy something else?
"it's just wrong" doesn't explain it. Please justify why it's wrong.
