Default suggestions for 18"x8" or 19"x8" wheels for my 2002 GS430

I have a Lexus 2002 GS430 and I'm experiencing chrome peel on my 17 inch factory wheels (where the chrome peels where the tire meets the inside of the wheel and causes air loss) AND I need to get new tires, so I'm kind of in a jam to pick out some new wheels and tires ASAP. I've always loved OZ racing wheels and I'd like to get something more age/ model "appropriate" for my car (ie not wanting the same wheels my son would like on a more current model). I like a more "factory" modified look which is why I choose the L-tuned mode package.

Do you have any suggestions for an OZ Racing wheel in an 18 x 8 or 19 x 8 non staggered? I do like the deeper dish so if you had a staggered suggestion I might go with it if it looks really amazing.

Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing what you have to say!

You need to look around and find a style of wheel you like (mesh, 5-spoke, full-face, etc.) and then decide on a budget. Once you have these two pieces you can start to narrow it down to a few models and/or brands.

For 18's I would go with some stock wheels off another Lexus like the 3GS or the Lexus G-spyders, see below. The OZ Montecarlo and Versilia are similar.





For 19's I have always been partial to mesh style wheels. Here is a fine example on staggered 19's that I am not at all partial to.
