That's what I thought and where I was looking. This will be my 1st Lexus. With Acura it was a fortune because you kept the wheels on the car and tires plus new wheels and tires.
I thought I saw pricking somewhere with Lexus, but maybe not.

Look at this page and you'll see that the 18" wheel is an $880.00 option not an accessory.

The wheel is the third pictured wheel on the attached jpg.

According to my salesman the wheels don't come with the packages, they are built on as independent options, but heavily discounted when they ship with the car. I drove a luxury package 350 with an MSRP of 43,800 that included the split 10 spoke 17s (which are very nice) and had an option price of $118 or something like that. He told me $1,800 or so to add those onto a car that didn't ship with them.
Little unusual for Lexus, apparently the 18s don't even automatically come with the UL...they're a seperate option.
The stock 17's are okay, the split 10 spoke 17s are a absolute no brainer for $118. The stock 17s on the hybrid are awful IMHO.

17's will also ride a bit smoother and the 18's may provide a bit better handling.

The issue comes if you want the upgraded wheels and they weren't already on the car.
Stopped by today and there were 4 350s all with the luxury package, all had the upgraded wheels so maybe they will typically ship that way.

I saw the split 10 spoke 17s, I haven't seen the 18s yet.
