Those look great with the red color! What tire size and did you go with 19x9 all around?

I had a set for a short while but I found a deal on RC-F wheels that I couldn't pass up. I liked them better with the black F Sport center btw.

Nice, I may have seen your photo when I was doing my research. As best I can tell,.no one has ever posted a pic of these wheels on an RC on this forum.

I have an AWD and already had a square setup. I considered switching to staggered but stayed the course. Tire sizes are same as original. I went for the Michelin pilot sport all season season 4

Where do you see them listed for that? I paid a lot more than that.

They have been on Ebay for several years 1200 and under consistently. I don’t think they were hot sellers for Lexus unfortunately even though it’s a beautiful wheel .

Must be a specific size that I'm not able to leverage. I bought mine new from ebay as well but the best I could do was $1650 for the set.

I strongly considered the wheels currently pitched toward our RCs by Lexus but I like them less than the ones I purchased. I also didn't like that they're cast and not forged.

I had a square set up on my GS I bought 5 years ago 19x8 of the forged . The ones you just posted I thought of for my RC but decided to just get some mesh Enkei aftermarket wheels for roughly the same price and looked much better .

I have a thing for staying with Lexus part numbers.

I saw your post on Reddit the other day. Looks great. I remember they used to have deals on these back in the day. They'd look good on my '21 ES. Though I'd need four fronts as I'm sure the rears are larger. I can dream!

My AWD has a square setup. 19x8 all around. I could've switched to staggered but didn't.

Why didn't you go with 19x9 all around? That's what I did with my set and the offset was perfect and flush with the fender.

He is AWD so the square setup is what should be used.

It's not the OEM dimensions for my car.
I wondered if that would work but hadn't seen anyone do it or know how it would fit/look. I knew that would work in the rear, but not the front.

i think he meant squared too, but 19x9 squared. big squared. for that big boy traction instead of medium boy traction.
