Just picked up my new 2023 Lexus IS500 Premium in Atomic Silver with black interior. It is pretty much loaded with the BBS rims and anything else you can think of. So far we love the car. I will post a picture or two when I can. Glad to be a part of this group. Thanks in advance

Out for our test drive before we purchased it.
Chicago burbs? Reminds me of Elk Grove Village, Addison or Schaumburg Industrial parks.
Finally after 2 years of trying to get my hands on a Caviar on Black, I have secured one for MSRP!
Took it right in for front PPF and 20% tint. Was trying to get the standard IS500 rims but couldn't turn down the colors I wanted for MSRP from a semi-local dealer. Now just waiting for the break in period to be over. Next things to do wire up a dashcam, new Michelin all season tires in the fall, then next spring hoping to install a midpipe (tbd resonated or not).
Congratulations!!! The car looks hot and the 621 will come and go before you know it.
The part # for the dark finished Enkeis is: wcc5444 10 spoke alternative y spoke. I got the info from a guy who is waiting on a IS 500 too.
Thanks! Regarding the rims i don't think i will switch, between the two rim options i just liked the standard ones better (but i still like the BBS rims). However when you factored in the extra $2,500 cost for the BBS rims that made me really want the standard rims. If i was to get new rims now i would prob get a satin/brushed gold aftermarket rims (maybe HRE FlowForm) to break up the all black. TBD that would be way down the line if i ever did that.

Congrats! 😎
Honestly with the wheels, I was in the same camp as you before I bought mine... However, knowing they're forged, along with the tuning fork style look, I have come around on the BBSes! They're a nice wheel. The matte finish also reads "sporty", I think.

Beautiful! I *DEMAND* more pictures of this spec lol. I'm torn about submitting myself through the hell of maintaining a black car again, or just going atomic silver.
