The Enkei wheels indeed look stunning. In fact, they look great with every colors I've seen thus far except with the ultra white.
I can't wait to see mine in the flesh but I have a backup plan if necessary...I will say that from the pics I have seen from a few forum members here, I am pretty sure I will love them (minus the PITA to clean them)
Just in case anyone else attempts the same thing, I went to install a hardwire kit for my dashcam/radar, so I disconnected the battery just in case. To my surprise once I reconnected and turned the car on, I got PCS, RCTA, PKSA errors and my dynamic lines stopped working. I got worried and called the tech at Lexus, turns out everytime you disconnect or the battery the car resets the electronic steering angle position sensor. So you have to recalibrate it in service mode. It was easy enough just weird as this is the first time something like that ever happened.
Battery changes are the few service items I do myself. We already have to stand on one leg, hold our breath, and pinch an ear to get the auto-windows reset. So what’s one more thing? 😜
Thanks for the tip, saved your post to my Lexus Toolbox album.
Part number for the forged BBS wheels are 42611WY320 (front) and 42611WY330 (rear).
looks like you can get refurbished ones from Detroit Wheel and Tire
You are a lifesaver. A few pages back someone posted they got a quote for $6k-7k new for the BBS wheels.
I searched 2021 350 on Detroit Wheel and found the 19" BBS set for $2200ish. They're refurb obviously, but whew that's much more palatable. From what I can tell they are exactly the same as the LE, even forged.
I think I'll probably do that instead and sell my stock Enkei's since I have no need for winters or anything.
Picked this up in Cherry Hill today. I went in Saturday and there was a tag on the car that said there was a $5k market adjustment but they dropped it. They gave me great money for my car too. Overall really great experience.
Eyyy congrats! Last I heard, they were asking $3k over. Did you get below that?
And maybe now they can get an allocation for my damn USB already!

If you ever want to sell the Enkei’s please let me know I want an extra set of wheels and I love the look of the enkeis and the stock bbs.
^^ That is my bad - When I read your post, I saw the word base and overlooked the 350 part - You are absolutely correct that the F Sport wheels (the non-BBS) are really nice although I would argue that we are a bit luckier in Canada....but I agree, the Enkei's wheel design is nice and I reserve my official opinion until I see them in person but at the moment, I prefer the OEM wheels from my 350 over the Enkeis
im talking about the f sport wheels. All 2021 350s are f sports. The Enkei wheels are nicer, IMO.
Yeah, it's definitely up for debate, as the Enkei wheels are pretty polarizing. Some people, myself included, like them quite a bit, while others don't find them attractive at all or perhaps too busy.
Then with the F Sport wheels... you have the somewhat polarizing black chrome look, which some may not like. You could always paint them, but there again, the spokes are somewhat chunky as well. I like both wheels pretty much equally but would have to say I like the Enkei wheels better.
Love the Enkei's and the BBS wheels. Both nice choices but each has it's better match with colors, i.e.- the Enkei's look wonderful with the Glacier Water Blue exterior and the BBS look great on the LE's.
The Enkei wheels indeed look stunning. In fact, they look great with every colors I've seen thus far except with the ultra white. I see that you should be receiving your ultra white IS500 very soon; I'm looking forward to hear your final decision. You must also consider that the wheels on the 2021 IS350 are heavier.
im obviously very biased, but I think the wheels look really nice on ultra white as it makes the wheels look darker.
