Lexus IS350 vs. GS430 rims

I'm thinking of getting those Lexus IS350 rims to replace my GS430 rims since my guy, Eyekutr, can get me a set of IS350 rims for $750.
What do you guys think? Should I get the IS350 rims or keep my GS rims? I wonder which one goes better with the Gen6 body?

More spokes look better on the Gen6.

You go through rims like they are nobody's business! If you decide to get rid of the GS430 rims, let me know, I'll take them!

Actually, I have another Camry owner in San Diego wants to buy my GS rims. And because Eyekutr can get a new set of the IS rims for only $750, I will end up with a little extra cash in hands. So just because I go through rims like crazy it doesn't mean I'm throwing my money out of the windows. All other mods on my car I don't get my money back but rims is the only mods I actually make money. Now you know.
ps. But if you really want those GS rims, Eyekutr can take care of that for you.

Lammydi, go for the IS rims. I've been eyeing them myself for a while now. Just make sure to put the Toyota center caps in - the Camry's nice but it's no Lexus. There's a chrome place up in Anahiem that chromes OEM wheels for about the same price but require an exchange of the same wheel.

Thanks. The price $750 is with the Toyota center caps in them. I think it is a good deal for a set of new IS350 rims for $750. Hummm...I'm thinking about it.

Can't beat $750 for them, thats less then $200 per wheel. Most quality rims I've seen are over $250 each. Fronts are 18x7 and rear are 18x8?

+1 you beat me to it.
Here is the link to Eyekutr thread for more info.
He has 2 sets so if you want the same offset, I guess 1 buyer could get the 18x8 and the other buyer could get the 18x8.5
Anyone thinking what I'm thinking?

Next year for me... Gotta make it through the holidays and Christmas before I can get more play money for the Camry. Part of my bonus will be going towards new tires and rims.

Am I the only one who wants you to stick with the GS rims? GS look much more classier that the IS rims, so I think you should keep it... All IS rims are is just the GS rims with slits on the spokes

Well, you know my wife likes the IS wheels best. I don't know if that meens I should run away from them or embrace them . The only camry I saw them on was a lowered hybrid, but the rear sagged from the heavy batteries, so I couldn't really judge for sure whether or not I liked them better than the GS rims. I think the GS rims have a classy sportiness look about them, while the IS rims have a youthful sportiness look about them. I guess it depends what look you are after. I will state again for the record, though, your car looks pretty hot as it is now. I've did some prelimenary research into looking for IS rims, and it's not easy, especially since they're staggered when stock. The new 2008 graphite/satin finish for the ISx50 look nice though, but it'll be a bit before those are more available on the secondary market, especially in non-staggered sets. Anyway, good luck in your decision!

For $750 I'd go for the 18x8 for sure.

Actually, lammy, you may want a set of the 18 x 8.5, since the offset is +50, they will stick out further from the wheel well and be more flush with the body, I think you already have 245 tires so that is the ideal rim
