LOOKS GOOD! I'd say maybe a different tire set up? a size up in tire might look better IMO. I'm digging the headlights though, it provides a nice contrast with the color.

Id lower the car. Only way to successfully pull off 18s on GSs IMO you have to be low.

Hey Guido2325 I have these wheels as well. Here is a pic of them on my daily. I'm running fat tires on it though.

Looks great! I think it sets low enough. But I'm getting old. I have 05 ES330 in Alabaster (tan gray) thinking its my last car but, I love the color of yours. My future mid life crisis might force me to buy a deep red Lexus someday.
