Really cool. Thanks. I guess the vehicle is doing the rounds to dealers now.

Car looks good but who is designing these wheels for them. Between the LS and LC, these could be the worst factory wheels I have seen in a long time.

Probably will sell well initially to the Lexus fans and then sales will be low.

That's Dublin, they sometimes name certain paint colors differently between different countries
. We will find out if this is a new paint when we see the paint code.

Looks really slick.. but the grill.. I really wish a body-colored bumper piece went across.. make the car looks less sporty, which is good.

Agreed! These busy wheels are competing against the Spindle grill. A no-no. Why not get some elegantly designed BBS 7 or 9 spoke wheels.
Keeping it Simple, Elegant & Strong.

Can you confirm what kind of tires came with the LS500?

Bridgeston Turanza EL450 is a Run flat tire. These are the tires I saw on the LS500H.
. We will find out if this is a new paint when we see the paint code.
