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,

Are you going to come to JAE this year, we're asking everyone, basically it's the biggest show of the year, three days long and a lot of fun?

Unfortunately not; I would love to but already have prior engagements.

Totally agree but having both is great fun too :D

I have the Japanese import version of your car which is called an Aristo, the only difference being they add a couple of turbos to the 3 litre engine, in all it's a lot of fun

hehe, yes that's a whole different ballgame :)

Crumbs, what a welcome :)

I do like big cars, normally aspirated muscle over forced induction anyday! I'm very very happy with the GS, I think it's going to be the first of many; I loved those Scorpio's too mind, it was my third Cosworth (one Granada and two Scorpio Ultimas), for what I paid they were terrific value.

The Lexus is a very different though, it is so solid and refined. Remarkably good as the Fords were, after some miles they all rattle and start to fall apart, also the technolgy in them was quite new for Ford so reliabilty of the gearbox and other bits and bobs is a problem for a lot of them now. The Lexus feels like it will run forever as long as I keep it serviced.

Howdy,

Just dropping in to say Hello! :D

Needed to replace an aging Scorpio with somthing a bit nicer, and after browsing the various user communities for BMW, Mercedes and Lexus, chosing a fairly high mileage but minty GS300 was an easy decision.

Great forum, loads of good tips. Many thanks all :)
