WTB: 1998 GS300/400 optional 17" sport wheels...
I recently purchased a 1998 GS300 that had some really awful aftermarket chrome rims on it, but to my surprise i opened the trunk while cleaning it and found this...
...now im a bit ignorant to the Lexus world as this is the first I've owned, im assuming these were either the stock GS400 rims or a sport option. Ive looked high and low (craigslist, ebay, lexus forums, etc) and have had NO luck. I looked at 10 different factory repro websites and could only find the chrome plated ones (which i am 100% not interested in).
So this thread is kind of a "two birds/one stone" deal, i want to buy them...but any help in hunting them down would also be appreciated.
I have $500 cash in hand for a set with tires...

Those were the standard GS400 wheels. They are very sought after and particularly difficult to find in the silver color. Try searching the wheels forum for GS400. There was a least one set for sale recently. If you search eBay then try searching for "lexus wheels 17" (no quotation marks) and you'll be surprised at what you find. Wheelcollision dot com and Capital wheels dot com may also be of help. Anyway, good luch with your search.

Awesome...thanks for the ebay link. So weird but i could swear i put that EXACT search query on ebay and didnt come up with anything. A friend of mine has been on this website for a while and told me the same thing about those...that they were one of the harder wheels to find in the lexus world. Thanks again guys, searching for days and only took a couple of hours on here to have an ebay link and someone offering a set through PM's!
