Guys, first off NICE PICS!!!

Secondly, maybe someone can help me out here. Before I bought my '00 GS in '03 I test drove a '98 GS4 SBM with cream interior. It was VERY nice but Carfax came back with a possible odometer rollback so I didn't buy it. But one thing that I liked A LOT was the stock (or supposedly stock) 16" chrome wheels that it had on.

It was like a dish style wheel (full face) with the "L" emblem in the middle as gold. The entire car was stock. Eventhough the wheels were small they were SO elegant for the ride.

Does anyone know which rims I am talking about? Did Lexus ever offer them or could these have been aftermarket with "L" center caps?

They were probably aftermarket because the only ones that are lexus wheels that resemble dish are sc430 in o2 and they are 18 in wheels

Roll back can also be caused by someone registering their car in a different state after moving and not adjusting what the mileage states on the title. I know from first hand experience and was able to correct it by contact Carfax.

Here's mine: 2007 GS430 wheels painted Steel Gray Pearl w/ IS-F centercaps. The pearl in the paint gives off different shades depending on the angle.
