Default Anyone seen LFA wheels on an LS430?

I'm thinking about buying new wheels since I'm due for tires anyway and wanted to stick with a Lexus design. Most of the aftermarket options in my price range are too flashy/gaudy looking. I threw together a quick photoshop of what the LFA wheels would look like on my car and think it would look pretty good. Does anyone know if there would be clearance issues with the brakes? I would be using the eBay replica LFA wheels, not OE since I'm sure the OE ones are insanely expensive. Bonus points if anyone else has pictures of an LS with LFA wheels.

I think they look good but not amazing. The gap between the wheels wells and the tires don't look so hot. Given this is only photoshop but it tends to be the look without lowering a little.

Consider, staggered means no rotation and poor tire life. 19's are more expensive of a tire and you are dealing with the unknown by buying knockoff. I would go with a 20" non staggered.
