This rear wing is NOT compatible with the LC's active spoiler. IMHO it would look silly moving up and down with the active spoiler anyway.

One of my pet peeves is the way people use the word spoiler & wing interchangeably (I admit, I'm a bit **** at times - ). Watching this fellow's video, if you can endure his enthusiasm/humor, can educate you on the difference and some of the basics in aerodynamics. Enjoy

What are folks thinking the MSRP will be?
My guess is about $115 K

Then this is going to really cause you problems: "I wonder how wide those RIMS are?"

But really, I wonder if the wheel specs are the same as the regular ole non-inspiration series LC500?

Almost certain those rims are a black version of the aftermarket (JDM) rims that are same size as factory 21s and can re-use tpms.

what i'm wondering is how much lighter they are.

Don't think so. These are the TRD wheels:




None of them are similar.

As far as TPMS, I'm using the stock TPMS on my Vossen wheels. No issues!

I bought generic TPMS from my local tire company for $36 each for my winter tires and rims work great. Programed in 5 minutes. LEXUS dealership
wanted $126 each.

This year's LC500 Inspiration Series takes on a much darker theme than last year's.
