Default wheel selection

My car is stock height with a spoiler. I'm planning to get some Lexus wheels but can't decide. I'm thinking of the 3GS 5-Spokes rims, 2IS 5-Spokes rims, or 2GS 5-Spokes rims. I like them chrome. What you guys think?

3GS wheels work out well and look nice a majority of the time. The IS wheels I believe are fairly narrow and don't look quiet right on the big body of the gs.

another idea for you might be LS430 wheels such as these

I love the stock 17" 5-spoke rims that came on the 98-02 GS. I have them from the factory in chrome. Probably one of my favorite Lexus wheels. Also, the multi-spoke/flat front 17" wheel that came on the GS from 03-05 is pretty sweet. They look great in chrome.

think you mean 5-'spoke' wheels
GS stockies prob have better offsets than the 2IS wheels; though they are still high.

my suggestion, request a pchop in the appropriate section and/or search in there and i'm sure something will come up

GL!

3GS of course! I'm running spacers in front and back and they make the wheels looks so much better.

I have a set of 18" 5 spoke wheels from my 2007 GS just sitting in the garage. I should sell them. I also have a set of Infinti G35 6 spoke 17" wheels. I have to clean out my closets. I have tons of car parts from my last car

245 on a 7" wide wheel will look way too fat and bulgy for a 2GS.
