Default Dropped the IS for service, saw some Lexus Wheels. Can someone id? (pics)

So I dropped off my 2IS to the Lexus dealership for it's first service and browsed around and saw some Lexus wheels. I'm just curious if anyone could identify them or has more info on them. I didn't get to ask anyone in the parts department because it was busy and I was in & out. (*sorry for low quality pics / also sorry if this is in the wrong forum).

First two are easy but I didn't knwo they offered them in all black. It's the G-Spider and OEM 18" wheels but in glossy black. Even the center caps are glossy black with the "L" logo in chrome. If I knew these were available when I purchased my car, I would have haggled for them to include it on the sale.



Now the following two, I'm not too familiar with. The first one looks like the IS-F wheels but in glossy black. It also resembles some GS wheels maybe? I'm not really sure. It looks like it's also 19" but not sure. Can anybody confirm?


The second one, I have never seen before. The way it is designed, it looks like it is 18" but it could possibly a 19" as well. This one has looks very similar to the OEM 18" in glossy black but it has an extra spoke in chrome in the middle of each dual spoke. it's hard to describe but check out the pic to see what i'm talkign about.


Could anybody provide info about these wheels? The first two I ahve identified but when did they start selling it? The last two, I'm not too familiar with so any info will help.

Thanks in advance.

Number three is an LS460 wheel in chrome. It is an 18".

Number four is the stock wheel off a GS450h Hybrid, and is also an 18"

It is amazing how much better the rims look in the graphite finish especially, vehicles with darker paint.

It's actually not graphite, it's deep glossy black. Graphite is the dark grey color like on the 08 OEM 2IS wheels right?

does anyone know whether you can purchase ISF wheels from the dealership?

and if you can what the pricing is in USD?

im going to be bringing my is250 in for its 1000 k checkup sometime this week and I plan on asking my dealer, but im sure (assuming they can even get them) it will be at a huge premium over the US price.

doesnt the LS have a different bolt pattern than the IS, which would mean they will not fit

Upon further research, the LS has 5 x 120 bolt pattern as opposed to 2IS' 5 x 114.3.

Wow. I like the stock OEM rim and the color. If I also knew about these I could of tried to bargain to get them. I think it looks a lot nicer in this color that is in the pic.
