Default sell is3 rims and replace with 06' gs3?

looking for opinions on whether i should sell my alloy 5 spoke is300 rims and replace them with 2006 alloy ten spoke gs300 rims. i am thinking about buying the set (4 rims/brand new) off a friend whos selling them for $400 without tires or valvestems. personally i think the is rims look fine on the SC even though i have read how other memebers feel that they're too narrow for the car. should i save myself some time and money and stick with the is rims that are 17x7 or upgrade to gs rims that are 17x7.5???

i have the IS3 rims with snow tires on it in the garage. if your planning to buy rims... why not buy something bigger? like 18 or 19's? i say just save your money.

My spare set of IS3 rims are jacked. If I could find a spare set in perfect shape I'd be doing fine, I like the style. You may not find another set you like as well once mounted.
