Default Suggestions for Lighweight 17's???

Anyone have suggestions for a lightweight 17 inch wheel that would fit on a 98 LS 400. Do the SC430 or GS430/400 Rims fit the LS...what about IS 300 Wheels? As far as pricing goes any more than $300 per wheel is out of the question. I like the look of the Tom's, HRE & OZ Opera wheels...but am looking for something cheaper. Also.....anyone who has upgraded a 98-00 LS to 17+ rims... have any feedback as far as ride and handling were concerned.

Hi, I just got these 18" rims yesterday, they are ok.. the ride is better than the stock, 235-50-18 tyres, and no need to lower the car.. just 2 fingers fender gap

IS300 I guess it's 17x7.. mine is 18x9..(22lbs) which is not so expensive..

personally, I don't like Velox.. cuz I won't put them on my car.
so I just got the JDM lexus rimz..

below it's the link of my 98 LS400
; help that will help

It is hard finding good light weight wheels for around $300 a piece.
Velox are good for the money.
Not as good as my Volks but hey Volks aren't $300 a piece either.
