Default What Kind of Wheels are These? Are These Factory?
I've seen these wheels twice now on Lexus's...saw a darker set on an SC430 and these chrome ones on this GS300. Both times had Lexus center caps on them but I can't seem to find them online. They look a lot like a 3 piece, concaved version of the 3rd gen GS 18" wheels

To each their own, I kinda liked them in person but NOT in chrome. Looked a lot better in gunmetal.

I have a comprehensive pictorial OEM Lexus wheel catalog on my computer. Lexus has never/would never design something so hideous as these (the SC430 dinnerplates were pretty bad ) These are a horrible knockoff version of the 3GS 18s which are in my opinion, one of their best.
Do not ruin a spectacular car with these, please!
