I take it as you don't need shipping quote for my GS430 wheels anymore!

Looking good!!!

Your pix confirm these wheels WILL CLEAR your GS430 calipers.

Aye, they look the part — colour combo not my cup of tea, but as long as you're happy with how it looks.
Thank God for the Chinese lack of copying morals in this respect - Lexus would've never given us these as a bona fide option.

one thing to note: i read that these wheels do not take OEM lugs... so you can probably continue to use those aftermarket lugs on these wheels.
Looks good. I was looking at these exact replicas at once. Maybe not in that finish though. I see a ton of those replicas on Ebay. Now I've seen what they look like on an actual car.

I see you used the stock center caps. What did you do about the lugs?

I bought some acorn lugs, ride much smoother then the trash that was on there before(spacers suck!)
