Default sc430/gs430/is300 rims on a sc300?

Hello all-

I am looking to upgrade the stock rims on my sc300. I would rather stay with lexus rims and keep a relatively stock look to my sc3. Thus bringing me to my question. Will the rims of current lexus models, ie sc430, gs430, is300 etc, fit on my sc300. I know this seems like a stupid question be before i go and spend 1k on new rims i figured i should ask. mainly because all of these rims are 18" and thats a bit bigger than the stock rims.

Thanks for all the help and hey if your sc300 is sportin some new lexus model rims drop me a pic.

They'll all fit. GS & IS wheels are only 17". SC430 wheels are 18", but they look like ...... well you know, with the stock center caps Here's a recent thread with a number of nice pics of SCs w/ GS wheels:

Yes they all fit. I don't like the look of sc430 rims unless you buy the optional center piece which helps. The is wheels are okay, but don't stand out much. GS430 wheels would be the best of the bunch here IMO

Yeah i really like the sc430 rims with the inserts im just not sure if such a modern looking rim would look good on a sc300. Im going for more of a stock understated look. With the new engine in trying for a sleeper and i dont wanna call attention to my car with Bling Bling aftermarket wheels. Chances are if they see stock lexus wheels and a stock looking sc300 they wont think turbo charged goodness under the hood.

Thanks for the link with the pic btw and thats for all the good info.
