Default RX350 Wheels 19'' on 3rd Gen GS - My Winter Wheel Setup.. (Updated Pics)
This is my winter setup guys.
Wheels are optional 19" from the RX model. Tires are Goodyear GT 245/35/19
I think it looks alright for a factory winter setup. What do you guys think?

P.S
Will take better pics when i get a chance...
Updated some pics.. i know its a little dark outside but i work late..

I think they look nice enough to be a all season setup honestly.

Honestly, it looks a lot nicer on our GS than on the RX... (from the side view)

What's the offset and width of the RX wheels? Any rubbing issue?

Thanks guys! I searched high and low for the stock GS 18" wheels but no one had them for sale. Then i started looking at other stock wheels and the ISF wheels were too expensive, but these RX wheels were just in my budget for a stock setup.

Clearance is all good. We test fitted the wheels and it just barely cleared the brakes. No rubbing issues whatsoever. I am dropped on DF210 springs too...

wheels are 19x7.5
offsets im not too sure about :/

Those RX wheels look real good. How much did everything set you back?
