Get some LFA replica wheels for $700 on ebay and Road Magnet springs for $260. That will keep you in budget. That's what I did and I love my setup.

What do you think of the F-Sport full faced wheels at stock height, I won't be able to afford lowering it. This is stock height:







Would you guys rather pay $1.7-1.9k for these vs $1.1k for the stockies?
I love those 5 spoke oem wheels.
Would love to see how a set would look on my GS.

I do like the LFA reps, but no one sells them in Australia and the shipping cost is killer from the states! They have the ISF reps but they're still $1k and don't look as good I think.

Those F Sports are pretty nice looking imo, not sure about the price though.... still seems kinda steep. I'm aware you live in AU so I know it's probably expensive to get stuff shipped there.

How about these? They're aftermarket and mesh style so you still have that classy look on your lexus;

I'm not really a fan of mesh style - I just like stock looking wheels for some reason. They're a bit too busy for me. I really like the Linea Corse LC818! but they're not for sale in Australia

I'm neutral about these ones - don't love or hate lol

What would you guy spay for a immaculate used set of the F-Sport rims I linked above?

Scratch off the F-Sport wheels. The seller wanted me to pay by bank deposit and that's a bit too risky for me.

What do you think about these:

I can probably get them for 1k too - do you think they're okay?
