My girlfriend has an 08 is250. She bent one of the rims to the point that it is unrepairable, but still driveable. I have been doing some searching but cannot find an answer to the following question. What colors of wheels does lexus offer from the factory. The wheel looks to have some type of graphite tint to it and I do not want to order the incorrect wheel off-line. the wheels are have 5 large spokes with two smaller spokes in each large spoke...10 spokes in total if you follow me. They are pretty standard, but just wanted to make sure that LExus only offers one color from the factory. any help is appreciated.

Yeah, I think it is the graphite one, but was not sure that if that was the only color that they made other than chrome. Been looking online for replacement wheel, but nobody seems to specify other than chrome or silver...

The '06 & '07 were the more silvery-color. I don't know what they called the color. 2008 is the first year they brought out the liquid graphite.
If you're shopping on ebay, perhaps ask for the year of the car it came from?
Although you should be able to see just from the pictures if it's a pre-2008 wheel just by the color. The earlier color is more of a whitish-grey than carbon grey.

costa, you need a 2008 liquid graphite rim. Lexus used that color only on the 2008 18" wheel. The 2006 and 2007 wheels were bright silver.
All years (2006, 2007 and 2008) also had a chrome wheel which is very bright chrome available throught the dealer or online. Hope this helps.
