I'm not a fan of that new style wheel either. It takes away from the nice aggressive look as a whole compared to the OEM 10 spokes ninja blades. To be honest the new wheels kinda look like flowers. LOL

I totally see what you're thinking too. Look like sakuras. Would you rather have flower power or ninja blade power?

Now that I look at it, they remind me of these J-lines SDMsl2, but the J-lines look much better:

I definitely prefer the 08-09 wheel, but the new one is interesting enough. I hope some of the major mags will test the 2010 because I am interested to see the differences with the LSD.

Maybe with the LSD Lexus will be closer to having their "M3 Killer."

Thumbs up

Lexus Japan already has some new pics running...

There is nothing new showning on Lexus USA yet..

** Engine Power will remain the same...

Just the few upgrades as mentioned:

2 wheel choices (in Japan), HDD Nav, tilting head rests, LSD.... and maybe a few other small things.

** Body Style remains the same as well (no surprise there)

Enjoy the pics!!

Thanks for the Pics Joe.

The headrest are cool but i wonder if there is going to be any difference in the feeling for the passengers.
