i am sooo happy about the new wheel designs from lexus. i saw these wheels in person at the dealership, i think they look awesome on the gs. i think they will look good on the sc too

not sure about the offset though, they will fit?

I went by sewell before the new GS even came out and there was a 2005 gs sitting out side with these on so i had to go over and look and i loved em. and they are cheap to boot. Since it was on an older GS i can only figure that it would fit the SC

oh that's interesting. can you recall the fitment, like better fitmen than the 2nd gen gs 17s, or just about the same?

that would be a very very good reference on the wheel fitment for the new gs

They fit pretty flush with the body from what i remember but i didnt even think about the offset, all i know is it caught my eye from a distance because they looked so good on the gs. The ones i saw were gunmetal.

Flushed? Either this rim has an aggressive offset or there is not a lot of room in the wheel well , especially in the rear.

Like this thread b/c I've been looking into do the same thing for my 97 sc4, i.e. using the 06 gs rim, though I like this one

Anyone actually gone fwd and slapped one of those bad boys on an sc to see if it works?

My current tires are slick, and I need to bust a move very soon.

I think all the GS430 (06+) rims are the same size. 18x8, +45 offset. Assuming that is true, then it will fit. An SC 400 bought a set of 06 GS 5-spokes from me. Fits fine!

Were your 5 spokes 18" or 17"? I so like the 5 spoke a lot. What did you let those go for if you don't mind me askin'?

Also I read that the sc offset is +50 ... if that is a enough of a difference to matter

Thank you

That is the OEM wheel offset but there is space to go more aggressive.
