Looks like you may already have a bubble on your left front tire. Looks good but I'd be going through a lot of tires and wheels on the winter NJ roads and off road the bigger wheels are not good. They look good on a street truck.

Are they OEM Lexus wheels? Or just the center caps?

These are replica wheels that can be seen on eBay

And yes they already have an impact break in the sidewall. Might have been a torn bead during installation or from hitting a pot hole.

The wheels look okay, but I don't like that large snap on center cap. It cheapens the look.

Too much rim, not enough tire for an off-road body-on-frame truck. It'll probably look OK on a sporty crossover.

I've always wondered how large rims work for some off roading action.....definitely learn a lot on these forums...

I actually thought about getting these wheels(via ebay) a while back. Now I can finally see what they look like on a GX. I don't think they look too bad. For those of you who don't know, they also sell 20" versions. Maybe that'll look better?

Please tell us you did the responsible thing and leave a post-it in their window to have it looked at?

Many people outside of enthusiasts don't know about cars, this thing is a 2.5 ton hazard with a tire like that........

I did not leave a note on their car. I never thought about that but now that you mention it next time I see something like this I probably will.
