Lexus has been known to introduce new models in the Spring (4GS in March), so who knows? Maybe sooner than we think.

If Lexus does decide to include these wheels for the new GSF do you guys think it will fit my 2014 GS 350?

Ill sell you my set, I hate them already.


Did anybody notice the DRL looks like it integrates with the headlight to create a "C'?

If you follow the lines of the DRL from the bumper to the light it looks as if it continues

I believe the whole point of Lexus trying to create DRL in that shape is actually to form more of an "L" (for first letter of Lexus).

You'll notice the DRL of all of the newer generation models (GS, IS, ES, etc) are all in a similar shape.

The section within the headlight cluster itself is likely the turn indicators, which would mean they're finally LED.

Bro.. I have a 2013 GS.. I know what the current DRL looks like. Who knows they could have been trying to switch it up and do something a little different

This makes sense, thank you.. can't wait to see for sure. Definitely looks like LED at the bottom of the headlight

I am referring to when I purchase the GS F i will be first in line. And the moment I take delivery if these are the wheels they are coming off. I currently have a 2013 GS350 Luxury Package and I would sell those too but I have a new set of Michelins on them

I have a feeling with the big body kit this F will have, these rims will probably look too small and hallow.

Default Lexus debuts 2016 GS F

More info released today from Lexus - Lexus Announces the Latest Addition to the Daunting 'F' Performance Line: the GS F Sedan

TORRANCE, Calif. (Jan. 6, 2015) – Lexus is yet again showing its sporty disposition and rumbling into Detroit. The luxury vehicle manufacturer has announced the much-anticipated GS F performance sedan, which combines a refined four-door package with the speed and agility of a premium sports car, will be revealed at the North American International Auto Show on Tuesday, Jan. 13 at 8:40 a.m. EST in the Lexus display at Cobo Center in Detroit. The GS F will be the latest vehicle to join Lexus’ high-performance “F” line that already includes the RC F coupe.

Although the GS 350 F SPORT shares the same platform as the new GS F, they should not be confused. The GS F will have enhancements throughout, including to its engine. Under the hood will be a responsive, naturally-aspirated 5.0-liter V8 that produces a remarkable 467 hp (473 PS )* at 7,100 rpm and peak torque of 389 lb.-ft. (527 Nm)* at 4,800-5,600 rpm. This sophisticated engine uses both Otto and Atkinson combustion cycles to maximize power and efficiency in given situations. Befitting the nature of this high performance sedan, the engine will be mated to a lightning quick eight-speed automatic gearbox with manual-shifting capabilities.

Lexus’ innovative Torque Vectoring Differential (TVD), also found in the RC F, will be part of a long line of standard equipment that’ll make the GS F’s handling stand out from the crowd. The TVD features three operating modes:
Standard (default) provides a balance of agility and firmness;
Slalom emphasizes nimble steering response and agility; and
Track emphasizes control during high-speed circuit driving.
The GS F unibody will also feature structural reinforcements and suspension exclusively designed to optimize this super sedan’s handling envelope without detracting from its ride quality. Drivers will appreciate the GS F’s handling and smoothness on the open highway as well as the sedan’s ability to devour challenging roads, whether they’re winding up the side of a mountain or at a racetrack. The new GS F will offer drivers a very balanced sedan with genuine dual personality, equally adept at trimming lap times and the commute back home.


Preliminary Specifications*
Overall length 4,915 mm 193.5 in.
Overall width 1,845 mm 72.6 in.
Overall height 1,440 mm 56.7in.
Wheelbase 2,850 mm 112.2 in.
Tread (Fr/Rr) 1,555 mm/1,560 mm 61.2in./61.4 in.
Curb Weight 1,830 kg 4,034 lb.
Wheels 19’’×9J (Fr)
19’’×10J (Rr) -
Tires 255/35R19(Fr)
275/35R19(Rr) -
*All specifications are for the U.S. market

I hope the quad exhaust tips are all functional unlike the IS-F having a dummy one on each side.
