Post 17 inch on GS300?

What do you guys think of 17" lexus stock oem rims on a GS300? Looks too weird since they don't come w/ the GS300? Just want opinions of the general public, .. or should i just get the real thing (gs400).

Can't imagine why the 17" wheels would look odd on a 300. There's really no difference between a 300 and a 400/430 from the exterior. Am I missing the point of the question?

naw, there's no point really.. its just a silly question, ur right its all the same. Just didn't know if having GS400 17inch rims would deem "poser" on a GS300, lol... thanks for answering

17" OEM rims on a GS300 look ok in my opinion and are not an expensive option buying them from a GS4x0 owner who is changing to aftermarket rims.

Go for it.

Hey all. These came on my new to me 98 es300. They scrub. The tire rubs when more than 2 people in the car. What can I do to use these wheels? Also what years es300 wheels fit? I could go to the junk yard and get 5th gen wheels for relatively inexpensive. Let me know.
