Good thing California only requires one set of tires year-round..
The Incognito + Black combo stands out, yet also isn't too flashy. Has a very sleeper/clean look. Definitely fitting for a 472hp sedan.

^^ I understand wanting to run smaller tires for winter but couldn't you find a good aftermarket wheel with a black design and keep the overall look the same? Incognito and gold/broze is not a good pairing in my eyes...
Compromise - I agree, I know the 500 is an upgrade from the 350 but why put the wheels from the 350 on the LE?!?! It seems odd to me - If they wanted to keep the black wheel theme, why not use a different pattern from either BBS or Enkei to make it a bit different. I agree that it feels off to see the LE be closer to the DHP than the non-LE (and pay more for it!!) - I am curious if the Enkei wheels would have actually looked better as they look good on the cloudburst grey which is the same shade

I'm torn on the bronze as well. I like the look in some pics, less so in others. Maybe I'll just get bland silver for winter, or admit defeat and go with black wheels.

You do miss out on the joy of a properly balanced car in the winter.

355 - Things work a little differently here in Canada with financial rates and such but that is quite impressive you got 0% for your LC. That is what I have for my IS350 now for my lease
AndyBomb - If I knew the Enkei wheels looked good and someone lived closed and wanted to swap, I'd do it too - I feel the same about the wheels. I'll see how I feel when I see the car in the flesh but unless I am IN LOVE with it, I'll pass and wait for my white either this summer or next fall as an early 2023

Hmm interesting..
Also, funny how different those two pictures look, considering it's the same color.

I got 0% for 60 months through Lexus Financial on my 2021 LC 500 Convertible in Dec 2020. You should be get a great rate no matter what the vehicle is.
The 2021 LC 500 Inspiration Series came with a white/blue marine-inspired interior with a blue soft-top.
The Japan, EU, and OZ markets are offering the same combo on all LC 500 convertibles. Sadly, the US market didn't get it for 2022.

To me, seeing the LE with the Enkei wheels confirms how much I prefer these wheels over the BBS. I am still keeping an open mind but I am pretty sure I will need to wait for a white with Enkei wheels although the BBS would be easier to clean with it's open thread pattern. That being said, there is an itch to try a different color than white so who knows, maybe I'll get the Incognito and swap the wheels - I will maybe bring one of my 350 wheels and see how it looks on the car (in real life)
