Those wheels look nice! How much do they weigh? It would be nice if they came in 19 or 18 inch.

Don't suppose you could get the wheel specifications from them... Size, width, offset? Looks staggered. Anyone here have experience with the ride quality on Tanabe's versus a coilover setup?

Those are 20x9 and 20x10.5, offset I believe are +38 fronts which fit perfect and the rears were +45...as far as Tanabe, I personally had them on my GS300 about 5 years ago and it rode amazing while u had it however I always prefer coilovers bec of stiffness settings that I can adjust.

As far as the weights on 20"x9" is 26.2lbs and 20x10.5" is 25.6 lbs, why I know? Because I have a set is sitting in my basement and I did weight them they are actually lighter than our stock 18" wheels

I'll wait for coils. Need dual concaves if you going to buy Vossen too.

Any one wondering about the tire size they are 245/35/20 in the front and 275/30/20 in the rear. This is a great setup. I managed to see this car and a white one with the same setup (with a gunmetal finish) at the launch event JM Lexus held last week. beautiful cars.

I love these rims but with the AWD version you cannot do a staggered setup without doing long term damage to the center diff. I wonder if you could do 20x10 all the way around and still have offsets that keep the tires flush with the fenders.
