Cost for the 18" upgraded rims?
#2
The additional cost for 18" wheels and tires is around $800 on a new car but I would expect a dealer would have to charge more than that to just exchange wheels and tires on a car with the 17" wheels. It would certainly make a difference if they had a buyer (like me) who wanted 17" wheels on a car on the lot that had 18" wheels.

The upgrade from 17" wheels for the ES350 is $880 (MSRP). Much more than that after you take delivery. If you have not made a final deal yet, you could negotiate as I did and get the dealer to swap them free of charge as part of the deal.

Hope I can say this since I have no affiliation with this dealer. I live in Southern Louisiana and because this dealer is one of the sponsors of CL and gives parts discounts to CL members, I decided to email Sewell Lexus in Dallas for a quote on an ES300h. I am trading my 4 month old RX450h and figured they would take me to the cleaners like my local Lexus dealer wanted to. Their first quote included a substantial discount on the ES300h and a very fair trade-in for my RX. I asked about trading the standard 17" wheels for the 18" wheels and got a yes answer. My car will be at Sewell in 2 weeks for delivery. This will be my 9th Lexus, all the others bought at my local dealer. Even though I will have to drive over 500 miles to pick up my car, this was the easiest vehicle purchase I have ever made and the people, especially Dawn, the Internet Manager, was the most accommodating person I have ever worked with. I'll give a final report after I pick up my car in the first week of November.
