Default Need to replace wheels on 2015 F Sport

Is this site legit? Are the wheels OEM/Lexus wheels? Or am I better off just buying them from the dealership (can't seem to find a way to purchase directly from lexus)?

More than likely legit. What's the reasoning behind needing new OEM wheels? Curb rash and pitting can be repaired at far less expense than buying new.

The rims on the F Sport are some the nicest rims Lexus has put out. If other models had the same bolt pattern I imagine everyone would be having them.

Yes they are. And ironically enough I had a really nice set of Rohana RFX5's on my 15 LS460 and they came off and fit perfectly on my 2015 Tesla Model S. I couldn't believe it. The LS460 being a both classy & aggressive car could pull off those 20 spoke 2-tone wheels. However, I think they would look goofy on the Tesla. The RFX5 sits very nicely. Unfortunately, the 15 LS460 F-Sport was totaled about a year and a half ago. Before they took it away I pulled out everything I put into it. Including the spare which is a full size 20 spoke wheel. I was going to post for sale soon. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. It's practically brand new, never mounted OEM 20 spoke wheel. With zero miles on the rubber being a Michelin MXV4. If you're really interested in these wheels then that may be the way to go. But it one at a time until you get your complete set. Just looked on eBay and one is going for $499 with tire. And another is going for $399 with tire. So you can end up with a completed set for just under what new tires would run. That's what I was going to do before I got the F-Sport. So, if anyone is interested shoot me a PM for a better price. Once I have to take the time to take pics and post them the price will go up. Didn't mean to hijack your thread. Just wanted you to know that I have one new wheel with new tire that you're looking for. Good luck...

I will contact that retailer and see what they'll give me in trade-in. Will also contact the dealer tomorrow to see what they can do as far as repair.
But yeah, I'm a stickler when it comes to thise stuff.

Before I'd dump that kind of coin in new wheels I'd give these guys a shot.

Yelp links don't work well from my phone. Google curb rash repair Austin. There are a couple solid choices there

Uh ooh

Moral of the story? Always check... and if the business is based in NY there's a good chance it's a fraud (or shaddy)

Unless it's a diff co (highly unlikely) how are they allowed to have an amazon store with that sort of rep?
Amazon Amazon
