I had a professional wheel repair shop come pick the wheels. They took the wheels apart and chemically removed all the chrome. Then they polished the lips and also the centers. Then they powder coated the centers. They balanced the wheels after they put it back together. I only saw if after they finished the whole process.

Yup! I can vouch for these wheelset (condition as described with almost brand new set of tires)as I almost traded my 19's for these. Keith and his friends at the shop who tried test fitting these wheels on my LS430 were all great: ................Good luck, Keith

Hi, I'm new to the forum. Wondering if you still have the wheels. Also, will they fit on my '06 GS430. Can you call me instead. I'm not on here that often. Please contact me via cell @417-619-6655 Thank you. I'm usually up late.

I think they will fit on an SC. I tried getting one of my friends to test fit, but he sold his car before I got a chance. Like I said in my original ad, the lips could use a good polish to bring back to shine. I'll be putting my wheels back on for the "Pusuit 3" meet here in So. California later today. I'll take some photos tomorrow at the meet. If anyone else is interested in seeing them in person, I hope you can make it out to the event tomorrow.

I've been in contact with you via text messeges. I'm not sure if they will fit the 3GS. Ask the 3GS owners on the forums since they are more knowledgeable on your car.

As for wheel offsets, this is what I was referring to:

http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp

Type in your stock wheel width and offset.
Then compare them with my wheel offset. 9 x +25 and 10 x +23.

Can any 3GS owners confirm if these would fit on the 3GS or not. thx

I was wondering if your car is lowered or if that is how the wheels sit on stock suspension.

Also, how much worse did the ride quality get with the bigger wheels.

Thanks.

My car is lowered on Daizen springs with L-tuned shocks. As for ride quality, any car you lower, you will lose some comfort. Different suspension setups will ride differently. Look at the second gen GS forums for answers on suspension and ride quality.

Here is how 20s look without lowering:
