Just making sure, I didn't think they were runflats either. Wouldn't make much sense if they were.

120lbs seems awfully heavy for four LFA forged wheels.

Remember they are huge .........20x11.5

Don't compare them to the ES300's 15x6 from the 90s

30 lbs/ 20" wheel seems about right for any stock unit. Replacing it with a set of forged Volks or Advans should do the trick!

I guess I am just assuming that the forged units (which are supposed to be lightweight) off of a $400,000 super-car would be relatively light (and should be lighter than Volks/Advans which cost sooo much less). Shame on me for assuming such a thing lol.

Nahh. Question everything and don't always drink the kool-aid! My mantra! The factory, especially Lexus, has very high standards so it will never risk safety over anything else. So I'm not surprised that the LFA wheels would be treated any different in that respect.
