since you like chrome, you could get chromed oem GS430 18s from Sewell Lexus/Darrel Diller like Lexuslover did.

plus they are hubcentric and ride smooth....

No disrespect, but those wheels are just plain ugly. Especially on a car as beautiful as the GS.

Send D2Autosport a message. I'm sure he can hook you up with a nice set of chrome 18's for $2000(wheels only).

Nice GS btw.

I'm with everyone here.....I'm not liking any of those choices. They are too gaudy. I wouldn't even notice the car...I'd be paying too much attention on the wheels.....and that's teh opposite of waht you should be doing.
