As i said before the lovely stealership

What wheel should ever cost $2800 each that just nuts. 2 sets of wheels = a down payment on a home, sorry but thats crazy!!!

yeah i would defintely think of doing this to mine but the lexus parts are too pricey!!!!! think of the nice custom wheels you could get for $5,000 or settle for LEXUS rims for $5,000 that will not be as flush, but look hella nice! with aftermarket products out there that are the same price, im not for sure what LEXUS marketing plan is, but it seems that u could easily spend another $20,000 easily with LEXUS brakes, wheels, and exhaust which=the price of a 60,000 car (BMW, Porsche, etc...)

Will all that said the rimms are SUPER FRESH, and the brakes look sweet

Those wheels look GREAT on that car. Cheaper trim levels often look better than their more ballin counterparts with a simple wheel swap to the pricier model.

I know a guy with a 330ci with M3 wheels and a guy with an A4 with RS4 wheels, both were excellent visual improvements.
