Exclamation LS 600L h wheel change to GS 450h like split 5 spokes..

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=252859

Taken by a CL member. Seems this silver 600 has a similar wheel style to the GS 450h, in keeping with the hybrid theme. Looks like 5 spokes cut in 3....



While I am not huge fans of either wheel, I DO like the fact Lexus is sticking with a theme here with similar wheels and the purple badging....

I traded my 450h for the current 460L and actually didn't like the 450h wheels that much. Terrible to clean and didn't look all that good imho so not sure I like the look of the 600h wheel that much either. However, the torque and instant acceleration of the hybrid is awesome and may bring me back, provided the trunk is more reasonable size than the 450h.

BTW, small matter but the hybrid logo is blue not purple. We still have an 07 RX 400h and its rear end logo like my 450h is blue.

These wheels look like crap.

Lexus doesn't see that thin spoke wheels dont look right on big body cars like the GS & LS.

Those wheels don't make the car look right

The 760 have the same 3 split-spoke rims too.

I agree. They look horrible. The 19in rims that we've seen before look 20x better.

I actually dont mind the GS450h wheels though.

Fugly wheels. Plus that silver LS looks like it's riding as high as an SUV.

Why oh why can't Lexus get fitment/stance/wheels right?

Maybe the 'F'-f-f-f-fabulous new models.

Hmmm, those GS-style wheels do not look that good on the LS.

Hopefully, the 7 spoke 19s will be standard, and these will just be an option

If those comes with the Launch Edition, maybe that's a reason NOT to get it ?

I like those on the GS450h better, they don't look too bad on that car . . .

Honestly they make me think of the 5-spokes that the LS 430 had post 2004. At first I hated them when I saw them, but over time I grew to like them.
