Lexus GS430 wheels on a 3rd gen?

Has anyone considered using Lexus GS430 wheels on a 3rd gen? They are the correct bolt pattern, 50mm offset, and are 18x8. I don't know about weight or hub size. They look like this:

I believe the SC430 wheels have the same dimensions but are really ugly.

They're not light and they would look terrible on an FD....you would be better off using RX-8 rims, at least they are lighter.

The RX8 rims would look much better. Even though both designs are similar, the RX8 rims look much more sporty.

Lexus and most 5x114.3 centerbores are like a 60 and the FD is a 67.1. You can make it work, the offsets are good. However oyu will need to hvae them bored out.
