^^^ No problem at all - we are all here to help..!!
^^ To be honest, they'll sell you one but usually, the reason they ask for the VIN is mainly because they need it to pull the information on the screen otherwise it is hard for them to locate the info. Just provide the VIN of a car that has BBS wheels just to help them locate the part number and that won't matter. I have ordered suspension part (RC F LCA bushings) despite not being meant for my car
Right but in the past, certain special components like the carbon fiber hood from the RCF Fuji Speedway edition have been heavily restricted. People eventually have found workarounds to actually get them, but it’s not as easy going to the parts desk and ordering any other part. So I’m curious if the BBS wheels are the same since it’s part of the 500 LE
Because the wheels are already on the IS 350 F Sport with DHP, I do not see these part numbers limited for purchase only because they are on the IS 500 Launch Edition..
I do agree SOME special cars like the LFA , Track Edition RC F, etc do require an owner VIN verification on the parts ordering forms.. If they are vehicle specific.”
I don’t see that here for these F Sport BBS Forged Wheels..

Toyota just announced the Tahara Plant will shut down for 4 days. This will impact IS 500 F SPORT Performance and even regular IS production globally:

Toyota Motor Corporation
Tahara Plant Production line #3
LS, IS, RC, RC F, NX
4 (Fri), 11 (Fri), 12 (Sat), 19 (Sat)

Interesting that LC isn’t mention at the Motomachi plant 👀
With all these shut downs, I wonder what Toyota is planning to do with the is lineup since it was just recently refreshed. Extend it? Cut it with low volume?

^^ Thanks for confirming - Maybe it was just my part's department but she needed my VIN to confirm she pulled the info on the correct wheels, but no worries, we are basically stating the same that these wheels will be available to those who want to upgrade or alter how their vehicle looks

Don’t pay the markups
…
And as I said a while back, next year the "markups" or "market adjustments" will be all gone, but the MSRP pricing will be way up......with the markups/market adjustments already built it to the pricing. So I suggest getting used to it and find a way to make more money out here as "higher prices" are here to stay for the foreseeable future. Like it or not.

V - just to understand economics further… Tell me why supply vs demand will see adjustments to the MSRP..??
Dealers are the only ones profiting right now (not Lexus Corp), from the Mark Adjustment add on prices / collected premium funds..
I do NOT see how or why Lexus Japan / USA can explain a car price increasing by $5k, $10k, $15k or insert your favorite mark up $ amount..
It just NOT going to happen since the cost of manufacturing these cars are NOT increasing by those mark up amounts.. Lexus would not be able to justify these types of major price increases
I would say you did the right thing when you quoted @lobuxracer
Don’t pay the markups - as supply increases the demand will decrease, the selling prices will be stabilized to MSRP and below..

2021 LEXUS LC 500 INSPIRATION SERIES
I believe these wheels were only offered with the inspiration series when they were initially launched. Now you can order these wheels as one of the wheel options.
