Default Will IS rims fit 3GS?

Hi everyone,
I am getting ready for a winter wheel & tires set-up (yes already...), and do not want to pay for a brand new set of rims. I have an opportunity to purchase a good set of IS rims (17X8), but wondering if it's OK to use on my 07 GS since the GS is 17X7.5. The winter tires I'm planning to use is Blizzak ML-25 225/45/R17 (which is also IS size I believe). Thanks for your feedback.

I might have jumped the gun too soon. For $300.00 a set, I thought it was too cheap. Can you tell if these are IS350 rims? If they were not, is there anything I can do to use them?

I'm new at this, so it was my bad. Stvincent and GS350Lexus are correct. I checked the inside rim and found the manufacturer to be Ronal. Does anyone know if Ronal is a reputable rim manufacturer?
