Default Best Wheels EVER!!!!!

I'm a conservative guy. I bought a Lexus for the first time in part because I consider the brand conservative. I'm not a modder. I've never done it, but I would make an exception if someone can tell me where I can BUY THESE WHEELS!!! Forget Vossen and every other brand. These are the wickedest wheels EVER!!!

Those rims look like they belong on a VW GTi. Really odd on that car in my opinion.

The wheels in that video are OEM Jaguar XFR-S wheels. If my memory serves me correctly, the bolt pattern on most Jags is 5 x 108. Not compatible with the GS bolt pattern which is 5 x 114.

I know so little about wheels and tires. Bolt pattern? I've never even considered something like bolt pattern. I suppose that's why I've never modded a car. I'm completely ignorant about things like bolt patterns and this and that. I don't even understand window tint.

"Bolt pattern" is how many holes are in it, and how far they are from the center of the wheel. This has to match the hub you're mounting the wheel on, or else the lug nuts/bolts won't line up between the wheel and the hub.

So if you see 5 x 108 it means 5 holes drilled on a 108mm circle. Your car needs 5 holes on a 114 mm circle, so she's a no fit.

Where there's a will there's a way. If you really want the wheels, you have some options, you can have the wheels re-drilled to the 5 x 114 bolt pattern or you can go the adapter route.

If you'd like to see what they'd look like on a GS, click on the link below

I actually am feeling that photoshop look. However, I am fairly certain the OP won't be lowering his GS, which is a must to make the wheels work (in addition to the other issues mentioned above).

Yes, I agree, a drop makes everything look better

Those wheels definitely wouldn't be my first choice but with that being said, they don't look half bad.
