I have Dunlops on mine and have no complaints. The car handles well, they absorb bumps and they are quiet on the highway.

They have both 19x8 and19x9...so you can put them on the AWD. Where does it say RWD only?

Yeah.
19X8 front and back should be OK for AWD.

this has been discussed a thousand times...you can do a staggered fitment with AWD as long as you keep the overall diamater the same...my 3GS is awd and I have those f sports rims stagged..225/40 front 255/35 back...no problems

If you don't mind, what color is your GS? I'm trying to visualize which color best fits these rims.

Photos of your GS would be a big plus......

My car is black sapphire (similar to deep sea mica) IMO theyd prob look best on a white or silver car. My car has RCA blocks and is dropped like .9 inchs in the front.

This is the only pic I have, I took it last year on my cell phone...Ill try to get better pics up soon.

They're on one of the GS350 commercials. They look great.

Looks like there's now 2 different official F-Sport accessory wheels available :





They are on sale here :

http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...2013/5463.html

http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...2013/2962.html

What's your opinions on these wheels? I'm leaning towards the second design....

The 2nd photo is of the 1st generation F-Sport wheels. The 1st photo is the latest F-Sport wheels, and they've actually been out over a year now, so I wouldn't be surprised if they update them again in the late Summer/early Fall.

IMO the 2nd ones you posted are ugly...Not even close the 1st ones (2nd gen fsports) are way better.
