Being from Ontario, Canada winter tires I feel are a must. I am looking for 17" wheels for 2016 Lexus is350 f-sport. Contacting the dealerships around the area some offer OEM and aftermarket wheels while others just respond they don't offer 17" wheels. My ask or question is those who use winter tires and are using OEM Lexus wheels which wheels are you using?
Since I have the 250, I have the luxury of using 16" steel wheels.
I use direct fit 16X6.5 steel wheels. The size of the rim and tire can be found in the Specifications section of the Owners Manual.
I don't believe these will fit the 350 front calipers...but it would be interesting to try it and see.
Honestly it's winter wheels...I really could care less about appearances.
Now...my summer wheels, that's a whole different story.
I just picked up a set of 18s from a 2is today. Also 17s come on the luxury package I believe. I think they're 17x7.5 +35 or at least that's what the dealer told me
2IS wheels that i found used from kijiji/cragslist(identical specs to 3IS wheels)... found them for dirt cheap too.. so take a look at the local used market and you may find some good deals.

have you done the swap from the 250 to the 350 brakes yet?

17"s are not luxury package wheels, the luxury packaged cars come with 18" mesh-style wheels.
I bought the gunmetal grey DAI Replica R52 wheels from 1010Tires.com for $200 CDN each with free shipping. They are 18x8", and are sold by my local Lexus dealer for twice that price.
There is also a Hyper Silver version in the same design being offered as 17x7.5" that is only $160 CDN each http://www.1010tires.com/Wheels/DAI+.../Hyper+Silver/

Not yet. I'd like to test fit my steel wheel on a 350/300/200T to see if it will clear the brake caliper.
I'm not worried about the diameter, but more the shape of the rim off the hub and around the caliper.
