They're definitely the same wheels. The only difference is the finish color.

I've posted these comparison pictures on here before and I've seen the wheels in person. They're the same wheels.

I can't find the comparison pictures because I don't know what post you are talking about. Kindly post a link?

Thanks. The GS Luxury in those dealer pictures all have such high wheel well gaps. The 19's in silver with the smaller side walls doesn't help the visual effects.

Didn't explain myself. When I said cheap aluminum, I meant the interior. Lots of people complain of the dents they get on the dash pieces (where the wood grain goes). I haven't looked at the wheels on a 15. 2015 isn't in my price range. IF I got the $5K back I have loaned out to people for money and the 10K I got for being robbed twice and given it back I could do the new now.

I understood you. You said you preferred the F Sport wheels but the interior of the luxury. I just pointed out that the 2015 luxury has the F Sport wheels...thereby solving your issue.

Some graphite plast dip would make the Lux wheels EXACTLY the same as the F Sport!

Lexus updated the aluminum trim and there is a TSB out where they will replace the trim free of charge.
