Question Confused by wheel choices-Help please

It appears from various pictures that the SWB will come stock with the 9 spoke wheel , and the LWB with the 5 spoke wheel. There appears to be a optional wheel that can be ordered as well. Personally I like the 5 spoke. Does anyone know if that 5 spoke wheel will be an option in place of the 9 spoke, my dealer thought you may need to order as replacement to the tune of $4500. And is the 5 spoke a 19" or 18"

The 5-spoke wheel on the LS460L is 18", & there's no way they're $4500 a set for replacement, no one would be stupid enough to get them IMHO if that's the case

Whatever the wheel choice is, they're all pretty bland. Lexus is not doing to well in the wheel design department.

I like the subtlety of the 600hL wheel, but it's still rather simple.

If I spend a good $80k on a car, I'll most likely change those wheels the first chance I get...

On the back on the mini-brochure for those who might be still confused:

LS460: 18" 9 spoke
LS460L: Available 19" 5 spoke (with Touring package)
LS600hL: 19" 7 spoke

And for the $4500? Wow, just give the cheapest standard one b/c they're going to be replaced anyway.

i always ask them if they can take back the old wheels and give me some slack on price

Dealers will rape you on that, most of the time you'll be better off selling the stocks yourself.

4500$ for a set of OEM rims, lol. What are they? Forged?
