It also helped that the Lux and the F Sport wheels are the exact same size so there were no other mods necessary to make them work - if there had been I probably would never have done it.

I was also extremely lucky. Early on when I was researching the wheels after I purchased the car I asked for help on CL finding the part number for the Lux wheels. Another CL member reached out to me saying he had a set for the AWD - he had swapped his for the wheels off an RC 350 F Sport and the GS wheels were just sitting in his garage. They were in near perfect shape (tiny tiny bit of very light curb rash on one) and the price he was asking was very reasonable. I definitely would not have done it if I had to buy them new from Lexus. Even at the re-manufactured price I would have thought twice.

Between covid and life it took us about a 9 months to make it happen but right before Christmas I had an email saying they were on their way. Luckily my parents always made me earn things I wanted so I can be super patient about waiting .

I do have to admit - the F Sport wheels did grow on me. I see them side by side and I like both of them a lot. Ultimately I think it comes down to why most folks do any sort of mod on their car - to make it theirs and a little bit special.

I'm still debating what I'm going to do with the F Sport wheels - maybe I'll get a set of fun really sporty directional summer tires and I'll run those on the F Sport wheels for 3-4 months each year.

I then used Permatex high temp silicone to mount.
