Similiar to other one piece manufacturers, the selection of offsets/widths are created for the masses. Many who want a more aggressive stance will not be satisfied with the limited fitment selection they are offering.

I give them a lot of props for trying to manufacture wheels with Lexus owners in mind. I actually do like the wheel design, but I hope they make the wheels with high, mid, AND low offsets. I personally think these wheels would look good with deep lips and wide widths. However, if they are a subsidiary or partner of TSW, I don't think they'd make the offsets lower than 30's and it'll probably be in the standard 8.5" and 9.5" widths.

Most will want the regular look and not the look that their axles are broken. They got to start somewhere. Likely 99% of wheels sold are 1 piece conservative offset wheels.

Exactly; these are designed so Lexus dealerships can sell them without fitment issues. They even use the stock lug nuts and center caps.

If guys want custom offset wheels, that's what custom wheels are for. Would anyone really want these as a 19x8 +20?

I like these They remind me of the L-Sportline wheels that I had on my 2nd Gen GS being hub centric for Lexus only. For those of us that want a little drop with 18 inches and chrome with zero fittament issues they are perfect. I really like Vossen but they don't come in 18.

I'll make sure that I don't post a picture and ask for everyone's opinion so my feelings won't get hurt.

I just got a set of four 20 x 8.5 Lumarai Morro's in silver, non staggered. Was debating going staggered or not. Since i am not lowering my LS460, I thought the deeper lip would make the wheel appear smaller and I do want to maximize tire life and rotate tires.

I love the fact that these Lexus specific wheels use the exact hub centric oem fitment, we can use the lexus lug nuts, tpms sensors and the oem center cap. I had aftermarket wheels in the past with hub rings and all that and it was always a pain getting that perfect smooth ride with zero vibration, so I am a fan of OEM or OEM fitted wheels.

For now I am sticking with these Morro 20s since that is the highest they offer, and because of how many road trips I do. Perhaps down the road, they will offer a 22 version and I may get those if I don't drive the car as much as I do now. Here are some pics on an LS460. I think it looks really sharp and classy. Can't wait to put these on once I wear down these 18" tires on the stockies.

In silver, non staggered





In Chrome, non staggered (the chrome makes the wheel look smaller to me)




I tried to see what they "may" look like on my car, kinda hard to tell but its close




Out the box



Here is the Lumarai video on youtube

No issues whatsoever with balancing and vibration at normal or high speeds.....my installer who deals with many aftermarket & custom wheels, was surprised that the Lexus Factory OEM Lug Nuts were used......when I pulled out my Lexus OEM center caps and popped em' on.....he just shook his head.

Make sure to post pics of your LS as soon as your Morro's get mounted!!!!

Are you lowered? What size tires did you go with? Looks good. I'm looking at these in silver probably to replace my stock 17's. I don't want anything too aggressive either.

I'm lowered on Tanabe NF210 and I'm rolling on 245/40/18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S.
