Default Are those Lexus wheels?


18"


19"


So I was in an Arabic forum, and found a guy selling those wheels, claiming those are OEM parts, I call BS, are those even Lexus designs?

the 18" looks like a chromed version of the 1st gen IS300. the 19"s look like chromed versions of the 3rd gen RX (second gen hybrid) RX450h

edit: those are not stock IS300...but they certainly look like a lexus design from the early 2000s. and while those do look like the RXh's rims, they are not exactly.

these are definitely not RX450h wheels. RX's wheels are somewhat flatter..

well lexus only does this three prong design with their hybrids, ie. GSh and RXh. As I said, these are not exact lexus wheels, but the designs seem to be taken from them.

First one looks like the optional 18" teleios wheels for the LS460

Second one looks like the 19" LS600hL limited Launch Edition wheels, also an option you can buy for the LS460/600h ...

Oh okay, any pictures? I'm using the iPhone right now.

The prices are very cheap, so those are Lexus replicas. I'll post the prices later lol.

The 18 inch costs $1066 a set

The 19 inch costs $1200 a set

He says they're original, I'm guessing they're overpriced replicas. I need proof, I want to ruin his business IF they were replicas.

Those do look like the optional wheels for the LS460/600. Most likely getting rid of them for something different. Gonna be hard to unload them on another Lexus owner who has anything other than a LS460/600H since they don't fit anything in the Lexus lineup; bolt patterns are different.
