Looks sick in that blue. Is it dipped? I have almost that exact color in dip I was going to do on another car I've since sold. I had flex blue base + bora bora pearls. Love the ride.

Default OEM Wheel Set Guidance

I am new to the Club Lexus Forum and just purchased an extremely low mileage 2007 GS 350 G Glacier Frost Mica. The car is equipped with the most hideous aftermarket wheels that I have ever seen. I would like to restore the car back to its stock appearance and desperately need guidance on purchasing OEM or Re manufactured wheels. I am very leery of the re manufactured wheel long term durability and reliability proposition. Alternatively, most dealers want between $400 to $500 per wheel for new OEM wheels.

Any opinions, company guidance is greatly appreciated!

Anyone in the Utah area or close by that has a stock 18" wheel in silver (not chrome) that's in good shape? Mine has a slow leak around the edge of the wheel that apparently is not fixable. Just need one.

What mods did you have to do to your front and rear fenders to make those fit?

Default 2007 GS Replica Wheels?

A friend of a friend owns a body shop that helped me source replica wheels from "The Wheel Group". The body shop owner emphatically states that he has purchased reconditioned or replica wheels from The Wheel Group for over 3 years and has had nothing but excellent results and complete customer satisfaction. I purchased the wheels on the condition if the OEM center caps do not fit properly, I would want a full refund and he fully agreed. Has anyone had any experience with The Wheel Group replica wheels and should I be concerned about the quality control of manufacture and materials?

Default First post, new to the forum

wheel name
20" MMR 8.5/35 front 10/43 rear
Michelin Super Sport 245/35, 275/30
Tein Street Advance Z coils

Pros
Improved handling 75% less body roll, suspension feels amazing and really comfortable too rides like factory even with the smaller tires. I was not expecting that at all, cant beat the cost of these Teins either. These tires are like super glue and quiet, staggered set up looks very nice.

Cons
The tires are like super glue ha they are soft and throw a lot of dirt going to install 3m paint protection on the bottom of fenders, rocker, and bottom of rear bumper pretty easy to do.
front driver side slight rub on splash guard when hitting medium size dips also easy fix. Going to heat those areas with heat gun and re-shape the plastic takes a couple mins. Already did passenger side works like a champ.

This was right after coil adjustments and wheel install so she is a little dirty.

More pics soon

06 GS300 I have 20in 8.5/35 and 10/43 and they sit nice and flush. Tein coils, no fender mods needed can't really tell in the pic but there is only a finger width gap there

I like it! Simple but still catches the eye. Your fitment is on point

Are you lowered on coils or bags? Also, did you have to do any major work to make that size fit?
