I don't think they will fit. Lexus bolt pattern is 5x114.3. I think BMW bolt pattern is 5x120. Plus, BMW's are capable of some insanely low offsets and Lexus uses high offsets.
Sell the ones you took off the 745 and get new wheels. Or have the old ones re-drilled to fit Lexus bolt patterns.

The LS460L's bolt pattern is different from all other Lexus models, it's 5 x 120, not 5 x 114.3.

We actually have 2 sets of 20s in production right now for LS460's. Hopefully the respective owners post pics (I only think one of them is on CL)

Actually the fitment is totally different for the cars so the wheels will not fit properly. If you need a set of 22's for the LS460 please feel free to contact us!

yea I agree for that color, the wheels dont really match all that well, on top of that Im not a big fan of the design. but they would look better if the car was black.

I think those are one of the ugliest wheels Lowenhart has ever produced. Looks like they are falling off the game.

Wait couple years until I can afford an used one, cuz no one does VIP CELSIOR better than I do...

That will be a car to see.
I won't be in the market till about '10, that is a long time to wait.

By then, I may have different car desires...
