I think Lexus figured out the original Luxury wheels, while uniquely styled, were a bit too "delicate" for the big bulky GS. These make a lot more sense and give it a better stance.
these wheels came with my GS. They are 18" and come with a stock tire size of 235/45/18. I personally do not like them so i sold mine and bought different set of wheels. Kept the same tire size.
No, I didn't. I will probably special order one from my local dealer, since I also want the cold weather package. I'm in SC , so I don't think it was worth paying the extra 1000 to ship it here.
When I was previously speaking about premium wheels, I was referring to the premium package which actually has just the base wheels, so I may have added to the confusion.
I believe these are just the base wheels, and Lexus has discontinued special wheels for the luxury package. They are clearly 18 inch wheels. The window sticker says "18 inch alloy wheels", so I think Lexus has some leeway there.
I will try to confirm tomorrow when I go into the dealership to order my car.
They're not. They are the 19" F Sport wheels with a different color paint.

The wheels that came on your GS are NOT the wheels posted above on the picture of the white 2015 Luxury GS. Your wheels were 18s. Those wheels are the 19" F Sport wheels in a lighter graphite finish.
The window sticker I saw also mentioned 18" wheels, but the wheels are 19" wheels...verified by the size stamped on the tire.

Not trying to be argumentative, but I believe jjscsix lives in Dallas where this car resides. I can't imagine Lexus would ship a car with 19 inch wheels without changing something on the sticker or website. Again, I will confirm today with a call to Lexus but I do believe these are 18" wheels.
Then somebody put 19" tires on the car I saw with the same wheels and the same window sticker. Not sure how they got them to mount.
Perhaps were are talking about a different car. The car in the picture is in Texas, from your profile I believe you are in MD. Perhaps one of these rims were special ordered?
I would be pretty shocked if they start throwing on 19" rims on the luxury package without changing the website or window sticker, but I could be wrong...
Look at what I posted above. That just came off of a cars.com search. There was a previous thread where a car was posted from Illinios...with the same wheels.
Closeup of the wheel, clearly a 19" wheel, look at the sidewall height vs the 18's PirelliGS posted:
This is a similar picture from CL of a 2013 F Sport Wheel posted soon after the 4GS was released. Clearly the same wheel.
This is the base 18" rim as was installed on Pirelli GS' car, clearly not the same wheel, and you can see the additional sidewall height on the 18" wheel.
Confirmed with the salesman that the Texas car has 18" wheels. Do not have any knowledge on any other car posted above. Will have a tire pic in the AM.
Local salesman here in SC tells me that if I placed an order, the car would have 18" wheels. One of the reasons I am picking Lux over Sport is the ride comfort of the 18" over the 19" wheels, although I'll say that the F-sport is growing on me. He also said that the supplier of the original Luxury package wheels was wiped out by a typhoon, but that sounds like an urban legend.
