I think they are manufactured by the German manufacturer BBS specifically for Lexus and they are forged aluminum.
Rare high quality product will always cost a premium over the common run of the mill counterpart.

ahh bbs forged. Explains it. Im also looking at the ten spokes from the RC300, they are nice and aggressive, oem and NOT 1300 a wheel lol, so many decisions.

Those RC wheels look awesome on the 4GS, perfect combo. Especially if one can find a pair of “take offs” on eBay or something.

Yeah I was wanting these wheels since I got the car (a year and a half ago) and without even searching, recently found a local guy selling these on OfferUp for a steal! I talked him down even more and made it out of there before he realized what just happened haha. I've also seen factory takeoffs listed on Ebay for around $1,200 or so.

Thanks for all the feedback guys.. was planning to go cross country and visit a few states so I wanted to get 18s (so it would be easier to find tires should an incident occur) and I picked up some Genesis 18s for the time being and this was how they looked on the car..

Some might call it a Lexus 5 series 😂😂 either way, they sat quite flush with a relative lower offset for oem wheels.. but can't shake the feeling of knowing it's Genesis wheels.. ☹️ so gonna post a little something after for y'all to see!

Just something to be aware of if you decide to go for the 5 spokes.

How can you even tell? That's insane man.. actually not insane since China makes replica cars also... But that's another story 😂
I was trying to find a post about oem vs rep but couldn't

There's someone around the southern California area selling a set for $1400 iirc.. so you had a good deal lol. if I had to pick a set of OEM 19s it would have to be the GS-F wheels.. those are gorgeous.

I totally agree! I love the GSF wheels but they're hard to find and too much for me to spend on OEM wheels lol.

I love the look of those OEM 18” F Sport wheels on your GS. Maybe lower it a tad with some RS-R down Springs. But your car looks awesome buddy. Congrats
