You dont have to but you can get 4 of them for ~ $125 to your door. Your dealer may charge to program them, mine never has. Save yourself the money today so you dont have to keep paying to swap from one set of rims to the next. Also when your done slap the OEM rims back on and your good to go

40 series tires? that's with with around 245? the overall diameter is going to be good 2" larger than factory spec. not sure if that's a good idea especially when you turn

keep in mind im not talking about lowering the car,id like to use the taller softer riding tires to close the gap for a luxury feel,I have a few supras for performance driving. Idont need performance out of gs but I do like the butter smooth stock ride.Possibly 19s with 40s? Id guess you could do 225 or 235 for fronts as well

Anybody know the timeframe for availability of these?

I like this look a lot better than the gunmetal grey, and think it'll look good on my Black GS. For those of you that wonder why these specifically, and no aftermarket rims - I'm just trying to keep it as "Lexus" as possible

When I called the dealerships around here looking for pricing, they told me that they weren't available yet, even though the website shows them.

Thanks...

THanks for posting. I knew they were available for the IS but wasn't aware they were for the GS as well.

Yeah..... looks like these are out. I don't think I like that center cap anyway. I have some bread to spend just initially thought these might get me by....NOT!

255 is too narrow for a 10" wheel. You should go with at least a 275, IMO

255 will be stretched on 10, it's doable, but make sure you are ok with the look. the profile makes it a little tall though, but with the stretching it might be ok.

i suppose this is for 3gs
