Perhaps this is more dealer bulls**t, but the dealer at Sewell Lexus told me that Lexus has stopped shipping Luxury GS's with the 9 split-spoke wheels. Now they are shipping with the premium 5 v-spoke wheels instead.

Should I believe him? Should I care?

Here's a copy of the pic he sent for my new GS with Lux package:

That's pretty much FSport wheels painted in silver. I want those wheels.

That seems about right because I remember someone mentioning that a few months ago when they went in to look at the 2015. They are identical to the F-sport but silver in color. Are they 19"?

I have the Luxury package split 9 spoke wheels, I'll trade you +cash PM me

Good question, but they look to me to be the 18" premium package wheels.

Look, I'm not complaining, just trying to sort out the facts since I'm trying to buy a car 1,000 miles away.

Those are definitely not the 18" premium package wheels. IMO, they look better than the luxury wheels previously offered. If they aren't charging more for it, I would recommend taking it.

Those are not the premium package wheels, but that's the first I've heard of no more 9 spoke wheels. They are still showing up on Lexus.com on lux package.

Now I know why my Canadian dealer almost gave me a set of the 9 spoke 19" wheels in silver for my winter wheels!
The original wheels in Canada are platinum coloured and The best price they gave me for the one ( platinum) wheel that I busted was $700.

I got a full set of 4 of the silver ones for $600 CND !

I've also seen pictures of the 2015 Luxury on those wheels, this are definitely the F Sport wheels painted a lighter graphite color.

I like the look much better, I would still want an 18" wheel on the Luxury for ride.

I wonder if they are just the F Sport front wheels or they are actually staggered. I think these look nice on dark cars.

That actually correct. those are The new luxury gs350 .. they come with 19 inch silver color wheels. NOT staggered. I saw those in the middle east on the 2014 actually. finally, came to America.

I like these new wheels vs the old luxury wheels from an aesthetic point of view.

Old 18" Premium:



New 19" Premium [just an F Sport wheel in silver finish]:



I like the latest wheel's styling, but I must test out the 19" ride...

I've seen those in person....they are 18 inch.
