I don;t think so, no mention of it on any of the pricing guides, or on the Lexus website. I know the 17s are standard now.

I was told ES wheels would not fit on the ES because of the offset...

That new wheel in the pic looks good, but you think if they went to the trouble to have a new wheel, they would make a better size than 17x7, at least 17x8 or 18x8 would work .

I put the '02 17x7 on my '94 and it looks good for now.

That is the one I meant. I just looked at my brochure. It is 7,5*18 for 245/45R18 tires. Price is 458,00 Euros. Part# PZ406-F0670-ZC.

Using the exchange rate in yesterday's WSJ, 1 Euro= .9844 US dollars. So, the wheels are $450.88 US each, if they're available here. There was another 18" optional wheel for non-US models of the LS and GS, someone on CL put them on his GS. They were a 5 spoke wheel (looked very similar to the 17" GS400 wheels), with a gunmetal finish.
