Default Hello, does anyone know where to get some GS 300 Rims?

Hello and I'm new here. Nice cars here! We have an 99,01 and 06 GS 300. I'm looking for some shiny rims like the ones on your cars. Anyone know where I can find them for a reasonable price? We are in the Houston, Tx area. Any comments help is much appreciated and welcomed!
Thank You.

Hello Eagle1xOne. This is a very broad question. I suggest you answer these questions for yourself first and then ask for help if needed.
  • What type of wheel design do you want? Spokes, mesh, full-face, etc; look at lots of pictures and see what you like
  • What is your budget? Wheel can be had for $100 each to well past $2000 each; reasonable is relative

Check craigslist. I’ve seen a few 2nd gen GS’ being parted out. Not sure if they have the chrome ones but go check.

I have the ultra rare 5 spoke wheels (only made from 98-00) that I'm thinking about selling. OEM, great condition, no cracks or rust, non-eBay replica crap. Your offer of $100...I won't even entertain that lowball offer.

What do those look like? I'm only familiar with the usual 17x8 5-spoke that was available from 98-05.
never mind, I remember now

$100 is low for those too though. At least $400 for a usable silver set, but really they should be worth more than even than.

$100 is used steel wheel territory.

Ah, I see, those are the wheels I first thought of. I didn't realize you mean unavailable for the GS300. They were however still an option on the GS430 and the Aristo V300, and are probably the most common wheel, in silver. I'm certain that most Lexus dealers would have been happy to oblige a GS300 owner who wanted to upgrade too.

I miss mine. I sold the original set off my GS400 back in 06 or 07 I think. The car was still in my parent's possession at the time and they had gotten the OEMs replaced with some cheap chrome Bellaire shop wheels. At the time, I didn't know much about the car and ended up selling the wheels for like $200 or something. They were still in good condition too. Whoever bought them off me got a steal.
