I wonder if the center cap will fit one of the OEM Lexus center caps...that would set them off IMHO...

I love that dark look of our OEM wheels, but man look how much gap I have on my wheels. Seems bigger than Syd's car, of course he up sized already.

I couldn't find many pictures of the wheels. Guess it's not popular? Although it only comes in 20s so maybe that's why.

I asked and unfortunately they won't fit.

Bah, no one else likes these rims? Making me nervous.

lol thanks.

There's like three schools here:

1. Totally blinged-out 22+ lowered
2. OEM traditionalists
3. 20 inch stock-look (rarest of all), splitting the difference between bling and stately-stock look.

This deal is pretty much done, just looking for reaffirmation that I made the right choice. The only solace I can take is that I always shove back on my OEM wheels. I hope it turns out well!

I'm thinking are a bit more schools than that but I'm close to 3 with tasteful additions. I like those wheels on that german looking charcoal vehicle you pictured

Actually, the more I think about it, I'm getting nothing more than OEM forged F-Sport wheels in a +1 setup at a lot less cost and in a color that I would prefer.

Both made by BBS. Both forged. OEM 20 spoke, the BBS RN 18 spoke. Slightly different design and color. These weigh less than my 18 wheels too, which I dug up and learned they weigh 28 lbs, so that's a plus as usually upsizing increases unsprung weight and decreases performance.

I don't mind that at all.

So with all thats been said above. I haven't saved enough yet for a new set of wheels for my LS460 yet but I do have a set of 19s Maya STM deep dish. So what do you guys think about putting it on with larger tires. Will it look ok or don't do it. Cheaper for me to get a set of tires now than wheels. Please give me ur .02...

I would use the recommended tire diameter if you're going +1 over 18s, which 245/45 19.

This will ensure the overall diameter is consistent.

It wont work visually unfortunately

The mayas are good wheels but at 19 they are going to look very odd

Id sell the mayas and then get something a little bigger , just my opinion
