New wheels are on there way... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I finally did it… I ordered a set of New GS430 wheels from Lexus. Got a great deal. $500.00 + 66.73 shipped.

Imitation is the best form of flattery.

Thanks to all of you that assisted with this.

Now can you guys help with a good/quiet tire selection. I am thinking Pilots or Proxes. I have heard that Proxes are loud?

Bro I have Proxes 4 and they are LOUDER than you can imagine.

The tires were siped when I bought them so I exchanged them this time with NO SIPING and they are nice and quiet

I've heard only good things about Avon, I'm going to go with those on my next set. I can tell you to definitely stay away from BFG KDWS! They are much louder than the Michelin that the car came with. Thank goodness they only cost me $87/tire or else I'd be seriously p.o.!

They are not loud and grip alot better that the pilots that come on the TRD rims, plus it depends on your profile also and you got to have right psi

Got the Proxes 4 on my GS430 rims on the 07 cam ... I don't think they are loud at all!! Thye are actually just as quiet as the stock 16s!

My Michelin Pilots grip like crazy, wear great, and are silent.

Just wondering where did you get your rims?

All of a sudden ppl are going for the GS or IS rims... what gives?
Also, when you get them. could you weigh them? they look sooo heavy IMO. THANKS!

Lexus of Roseville, CA.
Matt was the one I talked to in the parts division. Nice and great to work with.

Now I just wonder if I get another set of TPMS for these wheels can I use my new ones for the summer and my older ones for the winter. Will the car allow two sets of TPMS to be programed?

12 months ago, I was the only Gen6 on TN sporting those GS rims. Now my car is starting to look like every other car. Gotta think about changing them up!

You started a trend bro.
