Cost of 98--2000 GS400 17. Stock Rims
Anyone know how much Lex charges for new 17 inch rims fora '98-2000 Lexus GS? Or better yet, has anyone seen any used for a good price?

Here's one of the cheapest places I've found that selling them on the internet. Silver is $750/set and chrome is $975/set.

I have a list of several other sites that are selling them but if memory serves me correctly that one is the cheapest.

Most places will not sell OEM wheels, only replicas. The only place I have seen selling OEM is the Tirerack. Usually as a take-off item or as a winter wheel tire package.
Replica wheels are not necessarily bad, but it all depends on what company is making the wheels for them. It's probably the same argument that's made about "knock-off" brand wheels. Most OEM wheels are made by reputable companies, replicas are not (I know that's a generalization but in my experience it has been true).
I don't know if many of you noticed this, but the ES (certain years)wheels look very similar to O-Z Racing Opera wheels, and the Coach Edition has O-Z wheels on it...not a coincidence OZ makes alot of the wheels for Lexus.

My first set of chrome 17s I bought for $1000 from Bay Ridge Lexus. I was surprised that they would sell me a brand new set at that price. They were made by a company called Luxury Wheel and they came with center caps with a funky L emblem that match their company logo, not the Lexus logo. I had my dealer switch them. I've also seen many Lexus chrome wheels with that same logo in gold.
Is Luxury Wheel one of the Lexus OEM wheel manufacturers or are they also a company that makes replicas?
Here is a link to Lexus page on the Luxury Wheel web site.
