Cool, thanks for your opinions on wheels. It seems like the everyone here has 20x8.5 Front 20x10 Rear. I'm gonna go that route too, but just not yet.
What foose model of wheels do you have L3XOTIC?

not the case man... look around the forum for more options. theres a large range of wheel and tire setups to be found on here most of which are purpose built and chosen to work with specific suspension setups, fitment requirements, etc...expand your search for a decent set of wheels beyond your local craigslist. don't be surprised when you need to spend more then the $2k you mentioned for a quality wheel and tire setup...
lastly, get the car first...you can be posting up craigslist photos and getting peoples opinions on wheels forever but its pointless without a car to bolt them up to...and since youre working with classifieds sales theres a 99% chance everything you're showing/asking about will be gone before you even get the car in your driveway. good luck with your buy on 4/22.

Ok guys I found the wheels I want! 
They are these really sweet looking Vertini Hennessey's, I love the black/chrome and the 4" lip on them.
The price is great too, right in my budget @ $1700
Let me know if you guys like them.
It's a little bit of a drive to pick them up, but I think it's well worth it.

i think you're missing the point on needing to do a little more research. do you have any idea on the offsets of these wheels? they're not going to look exactly like they do on that brand new gs when you bolt them up to a 2nd gen. you need to ask the seller for more info about them and make sure they are going to fit "your car" properly.

I just found these vertini's and posted them up to get some opinions on them just like I said I would in multiple previous posts.
So how do you guys like this design?
Have you heard anything about this company?

Forget about 20's unless you want a crappy ride. The car seems like a steal but you should carfax it first as well as gettin a pre sale inspection at a lexus dealership . If you need a carfax run for it then just pm me with the VIN number.

My buddy Dave had 20's on his GS and in my opinion his car had a much smoother ride then my poorly built blazer...
His was 1998 with 90,000 miles and had amazingly well kept interior...

I just called up the seller to verify were all good to meet up tonight after work so I could buy the car and he tells me he already sold it for $8500 which was his asking price, I had him down to $7500. I'm soo bummed out
BUT, there is another GS300 for sale that I'm taking a look at tomorrow night...
It has 40k more miles. It's still under KBB...
