I've seen a pic of ISF rims on 3GS on this site and people at Lexus told me they DO fit, just very very pricey.

This has been covered 500 times. The IS F wheels will not clear the caliper of the GS 350/450h/460 without a good size spacer.

I personally don't like them on the GS. Plus, for the money, you can get a much nicer wheel.

Nice, Wanted to do this and came to the realization on pricing and the fact it wouldn't fit without a spacer.

It will fit the 2006 GS300 because it has a smaller caliper compared to GS350 with big caliper.

These older ISF wheels look better on the GS than they do on the ISF. Too bad they don't fit. You guys say they don't fit because the caliper is too big. DOesn't the ISF have big calipers too?

Well... that answers that. Thanks for the info in here! So there is vertually no other 'rare' or OEM wheel that would upgrade a GS430? What about off the LS? or some Japan only OEM rim?

Never noticed that, thanks.

Those wheels are just too soft looking for an ISF. A sport car looks better with more aggressive, open faced designs...imo. These look better on a GS only because it's a sport-luxo car. I still wouldn't put them on any car. Too soft. Not bad looking though.
