so in other words, they'd be super expensive, unlike the accesory wheels, right?
the color/finish on these is called graphite?

For sure. If he can get those 5 spokes at the same price he has the G-Spiders and Tourmalines, that would be a killer deal.

The G-spider on the GS in the previous picture looks good. The fins are closer on the Salinas.

You can virtually buy anything from your Lexus Parts counter for your vehicle granted you pay the MSRP premium for the part at this time.
