Default 2014 3IS 250/350 18" Tire Rims

The 18" tire rims on the 2014 IS250 and IS350 are very different. I really prefer the rims on the IS250, but would love to have a 350.

I have found one that I'm interested in that is a four hour drive from my home. It is at a Lexus dealer. Do you think the dealer would swap out the 350 rims for the 250 rims? Perhaps they would have a set that they would do this for no cost (if I purchase) as a carrot to get me to drive out?

Thoughts?

Highly unlikely they would swap then on a new car. Then they have to sell a 250 with the 350 wheels and explain that to a buyer.

Will you really choose between the two based on the wheel design?

The mesh alloy wheels are the same exact spec as the F sport wheels down to the offset. I used the same spacer configuration in the suspension thread and got the same results
