Default Anyone has 18" wheels from GS430 on ISX50?

Like the title says, does anyone have GS430 wheels on ISx50?
I just got rid of my Blitz wheels and want to put stock 18inch wheels.. Since it's hard to find 4 of 18 x 8 ISX50 wheels, I was thinking about GS430 wheels, but not sure hot it would look.

Wow... Thanks for the pics.
That really makes it easier for me to decide.
Not sure if they look better than the stock 18" ISX50 wheels though.

^^ Agreed

I was wondering how bad it would be for the VDIM or anything else, to run an 18x8 wheel with 225/40/18's in the rear..?

I know it sounds crazy for the IS350... But Rotating every 5k miles, is the only way to have a set of 18" tires last you 30k+ miles when you do a lot of driving per week/month/year.

Check out the Tourmaline's from the GS as well, those are pretty sweet looking rims (18x8 as well for us w/AWD).
