Default Please Help...new here, 04 gs300, need help selecting rims and colors

Hello, I am new to club lexus, first of all, I have read a few posts and would like to thank everyone for all of the information they are sharing, so thank you. I have a 2004 Crystal White(pearl white) Gs300, I have stock 16in chrome rims on it,I didn't want to mess up the ride so i didn't want to go too big, i recently was thinking of purchasing the stock 18in 06 lexus Is250/Is350 rims, and they are a staggered fitment with, I think 18x7.5 or 8 in the front, and 18x8.5 in the back, and then having them powder coated maybe a pearl black? well... what I am asking if first those rims will fit my vehicle? then is it a good look or idea, or what other ideas do you guys have? Thank you in advance.

I have always wanted a lexus gs300 ever since they came out in 1998, and I finally was able to purchase one and I have had my gs 300 for 4 months now, I am excited and want to make some tasteful and classy modifications, that enhance this beauty.

Don't know much about fitments, but as for colour, on a white car I'd go with charcoal metallic, or if you're feeling adventurous maybe a dark bronze.

I agree. Dont do black. Its played out and better yet its not tasteful. Skip the blacked out tails too. I dont know why so many people with the pearl whites insist on doing the Oreo theme.

I agree about the black being played out. Do the metallic dark gray/anthricite, or that dark chrome/pewter finish.
