IS300 early wheels or 2006/7 GS wheels? Will refinish either one to be new condition. Will be a 2nd winter set. I already have the IS wheels (not refinished yet), but can get the GS wheels locally, cheaply and restore. Not sure I love the IS wheels on the car.

I believe those 1IS wheels are a little narrower at 17x7". The 10-spoke wheels are 17x7.5". Not sure if you'd have any brake caliper clearance issues with the 1IS wheels, but you definitely won't with the 10-spoke wheels. If you do go with the 1IS wheels, a 7" rim is on the narrow side for a 225 width tire, you might want to look at a 215/55/17 tire for that wheel.
You are correct, the IS are 7”. I’m aware and since it’s a winter set and only 225, I’m not worried. But a 7.5” would be better and that is in fact part of my thinking for going w/the 10 spoke.
Which wheels to use for winter set?
