The plain chrome g-spiders are even over the $1000 mark. Black chrome would look awesome on these wheels.

^^^I have my stock Bridgestones right now. When I need a new set, I am going either with some Michelin's or Goodyear's. The Lexus G-Spiders are made by enkei.

^^^I went from Michelins to lower profile Yokos on my Honda. Ugh...the Yokos didn't hold up as well. I don't know about the GY GS tires, but I heard that the GY F1 all-season tires are suppose to be good.

Without a doubt, and I know I have posted this before, if you ever get a chance do drive Nokian tires they rock the house. Currently they don't make them in the staggered config we require, but you are talking about a performance tire in all conditions that wears proper, gives you a luxurious ride and performance when needed.

Welcome to Club Spyder! Looks cool, but I am biased I guess since I have black-on-black with the 18" G's.

Hey guys! Newbie here. I will second Kayo on the Nokian tires. They are awesome. Which Nokians have you had?

Nokian WR All season and the Nokian Happa' Snow Tire. The All Seasons are incredible, but the Happa Snow tire rips up the snow, massive winter time traction.

A Nokian rep said they would be adding the lexus is350 size eventually.

^^Awesome. Maybe I'll look into getting some Nokians when they are made to fit the ISX50.

Thank you everyone for all of your nice comments. I've gotten a ton of PMs from people on here.

One down fall about the G-spiders I must say: They're a pain in the @ss to clean compared to the stock wheels.

Gloss black would look awesome with your white exterior.
