6k plus for those "BBS" wheels? Quite the rip off. What is so special about these wheels that Lexus is selling? Are they hand crafted? Reminds me of the asking price per wheel for 17 inch stockers that NYC Lexus dealers Check out the BBS site and show me a BBS wheel for this price even close to what Lexus is offering

The GS 400/430 17" wheel tire option was ONLY $200 when u bought the car new. If you went to parts to buy the same package, the list price was over $2000 easy.
BBS wheels have possibly the highest level of forging around, I've been to their facility in Braselton here right next to Road Atlanta. My next project is to get them to make 22" LMs for Andrew to put on his LS 460
The IS-F BBS wheels were patterned after Saumari Swords fwiw and are not the usual BBS mesh in design.

Geezus, you do realize ALL companies OEM prices are just ridiculously high, this is not a Lexus only pricing issue. Price ANY company OEM wheels/tires and the price at their parts counter is just as ridiculous.

OEM 2008 Audi RS4(B7) BBS forged wheels (non-mesh) are less expensive if purchased from the dealer... Hell, even the wheels on the Audi R8 are less expensive than the BBS offering from Lexus.. We are talking about 1 piece forged wheels here right? http://oempl.us/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=31_97

Can these wheels cut sushi? lol..Do these wheels come with tires? If so, that would explain the high price... If not, then I deem it a rip off to consumers. Ok, lets check out non-mesh BBS wheels then..

Bring back a few month old thread. I've seen these wheels in person at the dealer a few times. Now that we have IS-F and F-Sport wheels sorted out, anyone have them on a GS yet? They seem to have decent offsets for people that aren't looking for super-flush fitment, but still better then stock. The staggered sizes combined with the light weight make them seem like a good option for some people.
Anyone have them on a 2GS ...yet..?

Hey guys, I photoshopped the wheels. If you'd like to see what they'd look on a 2nd gen GS, visit my thread in the Photoshop Forum.
