I have to dig up and see if any of those online magazine testers took good pics of the prototype rear tire details...

The labeling of the "Front" 19" wheel would lead me to believe there will be a "Rear"

Correct: Rear Tire on proposed "F-Sport Pkg" will have 265/35/19

OK wheels I guess, but the germans still take the cake when it comes to wheel design...like the ones from the bmw M stable and Mercedes AMG stable, they still design the hottest stuff.

One good thing about Lexus is the F-Sport wheels are forged. The BMW M-Sport wheels are cast (except for the optional 20s on the M5 and the 19s on the M6).

I can't get excited about the dark grey wheels. They just look perpetually dirty, almost like really dirty chrome wheels. It's okay for a motorsports look, but this is supposed to be a classy car. Give me silver wheels!

Of course, I would change them anyway....

Sorry to bring this back from the dead but are the stock 19 inch wheels on the RWD GS350 F-sport cast or forged?

Can any Lexus insider confirm either way?

Thanks in advance.

The stock F-Sport Wheels are simple cast aluminum 19" alloy wheels.....

Negative..... The Oem F-Sport Wheels are not "Forged."....


The first set of OEM Forged wheels offered by Lexus, are the 19" Forged BBS Wheels found on the 2008-2012 Lexus IS-F's

The second set of OEM Forged wheels offered by Lexus, are the 20" Forged BBS Wheels found on the 2012 Lexus LFA's

Lexus also offers the "F-Sport Forged Accessory wheels", which can be purchased as Optional Equipment or over the parts counter at your local dealership.
