Yes, that is a base model RCF and the standard base wheels were those ones in the picture. They were standard on the 2015 and 2016 model years. 2017+ had a different base wheel design.

BBS made the 20 spokes, not sure about the base wheels. It's not mentioned in the brochure:

They are about the same weight as the 10 spoke or the 20 split spoke forged ones. I would not call them lightweight. About 24 lbs front and 27 lbs rear. The base ones have a simpler design, but they are not forged. The other two are. Yes, all three RCF wheels were made by BBS.

I don't want to get confused and get the wrong ones. How do I know the Base from the good set? Hey thank you Everyone for your help all! You Guy are Great! @BMGS! This is all your and @Nunz fault for making me jealous to get these wheels. I just got to find them at a not Rip off price. The other nice thing was the 10" rear one. I agree with others those are some of the nicest Lexus Factory wheels I have ever seen.

You'll want 15mm spacers up front, (H&R 3065602) and a drop in the rear would really help to tuck them in a bit to be flush.

Here's a set too, you'll just need to convince the seller to ship them:

Only thing I wished is to have colored calibers but prefer the black on orange, however, yellow would be my choice.
BTW, are those Continental tires are the originals Lexus put on the RC F? They seem to last nicely but may be expected as I don't do hard cornering often.

Unfortunately, most of the used RCFs are plagued with this issue where previous owners want to buy a car like this and then put some cheap tires on them. So, yeah they are not meant for the RCF. The 2015 - 2019 RCFs had Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires and the 2020+ RCF have the better/newer Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.

But yes, you are correct that previous owners see the price tag of brakes and tires on these cars and can go cheap (or skip and just trade the car in, lol). If I was shopping and didn't see Michelin or Conti tires, I'd then assume the brake pads were the cheapest ones available from rockauto and the brake fluid had never been flushed.
Back on topic, that ebay link for the ones in Missouri look way over priced for some curbed wheels with deep chunks missing. I know ebay has some fees involved, but not that much and a local guy recently sold some mint GSF wheels for about $2k. The Arkansas wheels seem better priced, but in the third picture that wheel looks dented and there's a chunk of tire missing at that spot (very top of the wheel as pictured). I'd ask for more detailed pictures or go look at them in person before purchase.
