Just wondering if anyone can tell me whether the offset etc on the Mk3 GS430 is the same as the GS460? Long story short is that I have 5 spoke 18" alluminum alloys on a mk 3 GS430 that are leaking air. They also need a refurb. I can acquire a brand new set of GS 460 alloys for a reasonable sum and am tempted to go down this route. However, I cannot locate the offset, stud size etc, for the wheels on my car anywhere. The 460 wheels are as follows:- Offset: 32 Rim Width: 8J Number of Studs: 5 Rim Diameter: 18 Stud Diameter: 114 Thanks in advance Regards, Anthony

Hello, Have just managed to do a deal on a MK 3 2005 plate GS430 for - wait for it - the knock down price of £9800! Sensational value for money if you ask me. Car has only done 58k and has every toy known to man. I am coming from nearly 10 years of BMW cars (and indeed will be keeping my current M3 as a second car). When I test drove a GS300 around a month ago, I was expecting to find a big wallowing americanised car. I can't tell you how wrong I was. I did not think there was an appreciable difference in handling between this car and my wife's old e39 5 series. The motoring press in this country are doing the public no service by perpeuating the myth that the Lexus does not handle as well as its German cousins. Anyway, getting the car tomorrow and I am just wondering whether to put the lexus warranty on the car. Any thoughts? Regards, Anthony

Is it possible to put an approved used warranty on a car with a full lexus service history that is less than 7 years old? e.g. buy a 5 year old car and then add a warranty? I've tried the search function bat can't quite get an answer to the question. Many thanks Anthony
