I hope the owners dont mind me using their pics. The following three cars are absoulutely georgeous and i cant decide which color i would wanna get and customize. Its either

well the blue one is definitely the nicest the wheels in that pic from what I know is "polished"...you can see a difference in person....if your talking about chrome vs. polished. please correct me if I am wrong...

i know you narrow it down to those choices.....but have you ever seen wheels with brushed aluminum/polished lip in person? honestly it is simply stunning

First let me say welcome to the best LEXUS site out there today!!! Wow I can't believe all you fellow LEXUS members forgot the ultimate color on a GS is SILVER all the way!!! But since your not deciding on that color I would definitely choose the BLUE the car just shines so beautiful with a fresh coat of wax it's really eye popping with a beautiful set of custom made HRE Wheels you can't go wrong.

Welcome to the club! I'd have to agree with everyone else and say get spectra blue if theres one available, that color is absolutly stunning. Black on black would be my 2nd choice. Good luck on your search

I say White...light colors just show more of the body line compare to a dark colored car.
That's why all my other 3 cars are White. Plus, white is so much easier to take care of, you can leave a white car for months without washing her and it would still look clean (not that anyone would).

If I don't mind washing my GS frequently then blue is my first pick. I like the white with chrome rims.
