OEM Wheels
I'm thinking of buying a 2010 IS350c but not sure it is wearing OEM wheels. Can someone verify if these are indeed stock, or aftermarket(probably).
Thanks,
Jack

Not stock, those are someone's cheap eBay chrome job. Those style wheels only being offered on 06-08's (never in chrome) as well. If you want confirmation, here's the 2010 brochure: https://www.lexus.com/documents/broc...S-Brochure.pdf
Those cheap chrome headlight surrounds are not stock either.

Thanks. I had not. noticed the headlight surrounds so that is a big help. The car overall is in excellent condition with only 53k miles and for a decent price. I may pick it up.

They are—I suspect—cheap knock-offs of the 06-08 style wheels. The chrome is flacking off severely all around the left wheels, so if I buy I will order a set of OEM for a 2010 car. The wheels are not enough to make me back away from the purchase at this time because as I stated above the car has 53k miles and is otherwise in good shape especially for the price.

Using a VIN decoder I see the car originally had: "18" Liquid Graphite Alloy Wheels with w/225/40R18 Front+255/40R18 Rear" wheels. I assume "Liquid Graphite" is a catch all phrase and not the name of the specific wheels? Doing a search I didn't see specific wheels with that name for a Lexus(or any other car).
Thanks for the help.

I read the brochure previously when you posted but if you look it mentions nothing about the wheel color I posted about above, but thanks for reminding to read it again.
