No but i must say they are the closest I have seen in the aftermarkets. Would love to know who lexus uses for wheels. Here is a quick comparison I slapped together of the boyd-coddington vs. the ones from the factory, pics from Super Buy Tires and car show.

the oem 18s are made by jwl(as well as other lex oems) which from what I understand, also manufactures enkies.

JWL? Thats not a rim maker. Its stands for Japan Light Alloy association. Thats there symbol that approves the wheels for use on the roads in Japan. Like a DOT approved symbol but for Japan. Its on all wheels that are used in Japan. Im getting a new set of JWLs in 22" for my gs

Default GS430 wheels paint damage

My new GS 430 alloy stock wheels came back from the dealer with several of the wheels having paint chipped down to the base metal. The dealer says it was his car washer and will fix. Is there an issue with these new wheels or do I have a defective wheel? These new wheels appear to be aluminum with a muti coat of silver paint applied, and chipping occurs easily
