Wheel Ideas?
So I just got my first lexus about a month ago (an 04 GS300, parchment crystal pearl paint) and im just having trouble finding wheels, I come from the euro scene and have had two mk4 jetta in the past so those are all I really know lol, was really just looking for some suggestions, probably going to be paying attention to 18's as I dont want something to big and I plan on getting coils soon as well.
Also pictured is my friends 92' SC400

Are you asking us what wheels you should buy for your car?
Just go with the ones you like. There's like a million options out there.
If you wanna know specific specs of 18's that'll fit then check this thread:

Hello HyperBeast,
I've ran 16s,17s,18s and 19" wheels on lexus GS300 and GS400 and i would love to pick 18 inch wheels over anything at anyday because more rubber than 19s, more grip than 16s & 17s. Some say 19 is a magical number for GS and i kind of agree with that but for aesthetic purposes only. If you're chasing the fitment goals then 19 is the best spot. Why 18 inch is better than 19? Well, wider range of tire size which means more availability of sizes, lighter wheels which means less unsprung weight, less stress on components and more responsive launch, driving hard won't be an issue for you, don't have to worry about hitting potholes and bending your wheels or uneven roads. aaaanndd no rubbing issues
i would suggest you to go for 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear because it gives you that meticulous look, that "perfect" stance with little to zero camber and it's not even that aggressive that it'll need fender pulling/cutting.
Hope that answered your question
