Hello again!
I know it's been a while since my last post (over three years I think), but as you guys are the recognised world authority on all things Lexus, I would very much like your opinion on something.
Last week I replaced my trusty old GS 300 with a shiny new GS 450h, I love it; *but*, I'm really not getting on with the rims. I know they are bespoke for the hybrid and all, but I just think they are far too fussy.
My question is, can anyone recommend or suggest a set of replacement wheels which are cleaner and less "bling" than the standard set? I'm happy to go up in diameter as long as I can keep the rolling diameter the same.
Many thanks in advance,
Danielle x

Maybe a bit late in adding a reply **BUT**
I have same wheels and they are well admired.Would not change them.
Suggestion unbolt the chrome inserts take to a wheel refurb and
have the chrome painted to match wheels.
Not expensive,less bling and still have nice wheels.
Keep an eye on wheels for corrosion i have had two replaced along with 14 spokes
all under warranty at 20,000 miles.

Totally agree about the GS450H rims, not a fan myself!!
I'm led to believe that you can get the baranusa alloys for the GS, if that's the case then i would recommend these. We had them on our IS250 and they look fantastic!
Also - as above keep an eye on the corrosion, i think two of ours are looking poor and will be getting checked over!
