One thing about the 2010 wheels...they are not fun to clean.

OEM price is nuts. Way better off going aftermarket for the price from Lexus. It's hard to say what the 2012-13 wheels would sell for in the classifieds, there are many of us who would love a set of them for their width and appearance. The blade wheels were selling for ~$1500 a set with tires in the classifieds not too long ago, but I haven't been looking lately.

My thoughts exactly. The pattern is the most unique of the bunch. The only thing I don't like about the 2010-11 wheels is how difficult they are to clean. I like the 2012-13 rims a bit more because of the way the spokes are rounded outwards and they can be cleaned up so much faster. The 2008-09 rims are great looking, but the multi-spoke starburst wheel style is a rather common design and therefor not really a standout look imo.

Agreed. When I first go the ISF last week, I wasn't too excited about the wheel design. It looked cluttered and "rose-y" and/or webby. It has been a bit more than a week and I am growing fond of the design. They look complex and intricate and overall... nice. But yeah, cleaning them is a pain! Once, I started cleaning a wheel and gave up half-way through. Well, gotta go downstairs and clean them later

I think mint 2012-13 wheels should fetch $1500 if the seller is willing to be really patient, but I'm not entirely sure either.
