With winter approaching here in Kansas, I was wondering the best place to purchase OEM all purpose floor mats. Should I just contact the lexus/toyota dealer or purchase off the internet? I saw some on LPARTSWORLD.com but wanted to get some thoughts before ordering.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

I have the Lexus mats (that came with the car) BUT...... The Weather Tech ones are well made and have a nice fit.
My choice would be the Weather Tech mats if I had to buy mats.

Given the choice between the OEM mats (which I have) and the WeatherTech mats (which I've had), I would always choose the Weather Tech mats. Only reason why I have the OEM ones is the WeatherTech ones didn't come with the new anchor system.

07-12 I would always choose the WeatherTech mats.

I bought the stock ones off eBay. About $100 shipped. Weather Tech is about double that and they tend to curl up at the edges after a bit of use.

I have a set of grey weathertech SWB mats for sale in the classifieds.

Weather Tech all the way

I've used them for 20 years on many different vehicles and have never had the edges curl up...

X2^^^^^^. Quality mats and American Made!..... I have had 7 sets of the WT mats on different vehicles over the years and have zero complaints.

Never had issues with their regular mats but the digital floor liner ones curl on the edges.

I've always used the regular mats, I don't like the look of the floor liners

Yep. Same here. Not huge curls, but enough to look a bit cheap

I used WT regular mat on my 430 for 4 years. It doesn’t have the holes to fit the anchors. I think OEM mat has a better fit and looks nicer with the Lexus logo. My WT mat can’t sit flat at the back because of the anchors

The Weather Tech mats do come with the appropriate anchors, at least they have for the last 5-6 years.

The issue with the OEM mats are the "new" OEM mats. They're thin and flat and don't hold any liquid, they've been this way since the unintended acceleration fiasco. I had a set of OEM mats for my ES300 and my LS430 which were great, very similar to the WeatherTech mats, Then the OEM mats I ordered for my GS350 were another story.

We've had two sets of weather tech mats. The first set curled pretty bad. Just in the back seat though, not the front. The second set he have in our F150 hasn't curled at all.

Well worth thr money, curl or not. I'd buy a set, the black looks nice in cars.

We had new weather tech mats in our 2000 Jeep GC. They did curl up after a few years and there was a hole where the heel goes right below the gas pedal. After that, and seeing that it didn't last as long I've gone with OEM for the past few cars.
Maybe the rubber material has gotten better over the years? Back then they only had one set to choose from...
