BBS Wheels on an '08??
New to the forum...anyone know if the BBS wheels that came stock with the car in its last years of production will fit on a 2008??
Lexus wants +-$10K for them I was going to see if i can go through BBS direct.
thanks.

I am an authorized BBS dealer, so if there is a way of getting them, I can do it for you. i just tried to put a call in with them, but unfortunately, they closed about 13 minutes ago. If you shoot me a PM with your contact info, i would be happy to get some info from them on Monday and get back with you.

Yes they are a direct replacement for the samurai blades of 08-09. They are 1/2" wider front 8.5" & rear 9.5"

To the OP. The answer is yes they fit. Many threads on here about folks trying to get them, a few got lucky and scored a set. Since production was low in the later years, they are very hard to come by. You best bet would be eBay or Craigslist, but IMO, very little hope. I am running RCF base wheels which are ½" wider than the late ISF wheels, but have more aggressive offsets.
The cost new from BBS would be prohibitive IMO. And I don't believe BBS would be allowed to sell them direct since they were made specifically for Lexus.

The BBS RE-V is about the closest thing to the stock wheels I've found BBS makes, the problem is the offsets available aren't even close and they are the wrong bolt pattern. Plus 9.5in rears although better still leaves room on the table without fender mods etc.
i love my stock 12 wheels and have yet to find anything aftermarket that I would like more. Only gripe is a wish they were slightly wider.
Good luck on your search!!

Agree! excellent option, only problem I know of is actually finding a set since they are discontinued. Know of any leads for new sets, or is the only option to watch the used market?

16" - 19" only
We are closed on the weekends, so i dont have access to my price list until monday, but i will definitely shoot you a PM when im back in the office.
I can make some calls, and see if maybe Japan has any left. you would be waiting a few months to get them though.
