thanks for the part numbers! Did you also need the F sport lug nut kit?
I did use it but any tuner spline drive conical m12x1.5 set should work. You can't use the OEM lugnuts due to the different seat and their larger diameter. The F-Sport kit is by McGard and it does fit nicely, but not necessary to be that kit.
Unpopular opinion? These look like wheels you'd see on a Camry XSE
Stock F Sport wheels are much better IMHO
I had to look up a Camry XSE and those are nice cars! The wheels I saw in the photos actually look more like the base GS 18x8s I replaced.
The 2016+ F-Sport wheels are definitely some of the best wheels for the car but I liked the huge weight savings plus the generous negative offset for a more flush look that I can run 19x9 all around with. I do like them better with the black center cap rather than the color matched ones.
After seeing both in person, I think there is a closer resemblance to the M3 competition styles. That car is clearly a subjective topic and just because it's on an M3 doesn't mean it's nice but I found the similarities interesting since the designs are nearly a decade apart.

Lol yes Camry XSE’s are definitely nice cars!
I like the 2016 F Sport wheels, ‘13s - ‘15s are even better to me. I added spacers all around for the flush look on stock.

Honestly, after seeing these rims with the black center cap I think it fits the rim better too! I have a pure platinum GS, so my car would look similar to the one at the top of the thread. The slight center cap color change really helps to break up the rim, emphasizing the spoke design. When my set comes in, I will probably run the back center caps too! How much did you pay for a set?

These ended up on the wheels by accident because I had originally bought a set of RC-F wheels with no center caps so I ordered the OEM black set to accompany them. The RC-F wheels never shipped so I tried the caps out on these and liked them a lot. They sit out bit higher than the F-Sport caps but I think that gives them a nice 3d effect. I'll take a close-up to show it better. Because they sit higher, there is an unpainted grey plastic portion that would be visible but I covered that up with a paint marker and some of my touch-up paint which happened to be pure black.
Just got the GS back with my forged set installed! I’m in love with these rims and they melt into the silver paint! This reminds me of the promotional 4GS videos where a platinum GS ran these rims. Running 19x9 all around on 245/40R/19s. No rubbing and the rims line up perfectly with the fender
@Nunz looks great! I think hitting those calipers with a nice Silver caliper paint and Lexus logo sticker will really set off the wheel/rotor look you have going. The spacing on those Forged Wheels are great for showing the rotors and calipers. There is a guy on my block that has a 2008 LS430 in Silver with silver matching painted calipers and it looks perfect.

Those look fantastic, the color combo and stance are just right, nice job!
