I wouldn't do it regardless of how the wheels look but stock M6 wheels???? They aren't special looking. They aren't worth it. I just don't get it.

But on a serious note, these adapters could be found on the internet with ease. Have you even tried searching? I remember I had a set of some Breyton 3 piece wheels with BMW fitment and I actually considered buying adapters and making them work on the Lexus. These adaptors were 100-200 dollars a piece.... I think it was closer to $200 a piece + shipping... so you are looking at about 500+ just for the adaptors on a good day if you can find them that cheap. It's just not worth it in my opinion....

Getting free wheels doesn't justify anything. Sell them and buy wheels that fit.

trafficstar makes a similar looking wheel to the M6, id go that route because the potential issues you could have are pretty good.

I love the posting of "I know I'll get flamed" and then getting all defensive and crying about getting flamed.

God save the Queen.

Next time don't ask for help for stuff like this. You're taking another brands wheels and putting them on your Lexus. That's bad enough for many people but to make it worse, they don't fit. Not you have to rig up some crap to make some other brands' wheel fit???!!!

You post crap in you get crap out.

Hey, I like that line!

Good luck dude but please don't do this. Sell the wheels. That's my advise.
