Default Are these knock off lexus wheels?
They don't look right, and there aren't any Toyota stampings on the inside like my is300 wheels have



thanks

I have looked at 2 sc400s in the past that had these as an original option in 92-93..
Must have been included in the gold package at some dealers. Look real good in person for stock wheels.

They do indeed appear to be in very good condition.. What size are they? They appear to be real small with huge tires. I think I have seen these on some SC's on Ebay years ago.

Those would look awesome on a suzuki samurai or another tiny 4x4. Maybe a lifted smart car or fiat 500.

actually that is a v for vogue, these were dealer option wheels on early lexus'. after a suit about trademarking they used their own logo. they are very nice wheels though are not factory.

Those would look cool on a Toyota Cressida or an LS400, too much gold and crap on them to look right on a more swoopy SC
