Looks like you ended up with the 18 inch tourmalines which is usually an optional wheel supplied by Lexus. I like those better than the standard 5 spoke GS430 wheels.

Hey man you park real close to that curb. Your wheel might not like that.

Did you buy this new or used? If used, it's possible that the previous owner changed the wheels to the 18" Tourmalines.

Thanks for the reply fellas... I purchased it used. I like these wheels better than the 5 spoke myself, just wanted to make sure they werent aftermarket. As for parking close to the curb.... Welcome to NYC.... and you gotta be good to get it that close without curbrashing it. I came from having 22" on my 745, never curb rashed them... always kept it as close as possible to the side walk.
