Ok, guys, I have spoke to HRE and I'm working on getting us (Club Lexus) a special run of 10-20 REVERSE LIP HRE wheels in 20". They will be STAGGERED ONLY.

We're looking at a 2" lip up front and a 3" lip out back...high polished or machine polished finish...either with high polished lips.

These will be offsetted to fit the GS and LS only. They will be individually numbered and I'm working on a limited edition center cap also.

If you're SERIOUSLY interested, PM me. If you're "wishy washy", don't bother. Serious wheels for serious enthusiasts. I don't have prices yet so don't ask. The price should be compariable to what you can typcally buy new HRE wheels for...

Man, it sucks big time when you don't have a Lexus yet !!!

What is the approximate cost

Manaray

Price - Well HRE retail prices for a set would be in the $5000 - $6000 per set...there is OBVIOUSLY going to be a Club Lexus discount but it's not going to be 50% off...

Sorry Lexus_IS300 - The reverse lips they have right now won't fit the IS w/o some serious fender modding. They'll just BEARLY fit the GS and the LS should fit no problem...

BTW - These wheels will be the ONLY 20" Reverse lip wheels for ANY car other than Porsche's and Ferrari's that HRE is going to produce for some time...10-20 sets only...

51.2mm lip in front
76.8mm lip for the rear

Well if you think you can squeeze a 20" x 10" in the back...

My mouth is watering........
John, the only thing is that I believe these will be the 543's only...No 545's....
That should tell you who has their hand in the HRE cookie jar....(uuuhhhuumm...Manaray) J/K
Either way, 543 or not I might still have to go for it...543 is definitely a pretty timeless looking design if you planned on putting them on the "NEXT" gen. GS or another big Japanese sedan..
Price will, of course, play a role...

Manaray

Tiny...ok, they're going be "similar" to high end JDM wheels in terms of price...so figure high 3K to low 4K.... Works for me!

As for the 543's, well the nice thing about these wheels is that they look good on the GS and LS...the 545's would look a little out of place on the LS I think....

The thing is, if HRE is going to go through the trouble of reprogramming the CNC instructions (and testing the wheels, etc., etc...), they need to sell more than 1 or 2...otherwise, the cost on the wheels will be in the $10K+ range...that's why the 543's design was picked...that way, both the GS and LS market can be satisfied...

Hey, if they could make a one off for $4K-$5K, I'd be on it...but that's not the case, that's why we need some QUANTITY!

Richie

Damn, that sounds like a pretty good deal!!!!!!!!
Where is that GS when you need it.........................
