I'm looking at a spec sheet for an AWD F-Sport I'm considering. It reads it has " 19-inch Split-five-Spoke Alloy Wheels w/Dark Graphite Finish & All- Season Tires." Are there pictures available of those rims?

I think it is in Guam that they offer the 18 inch rims instead of the 19 inch due to the road conditions. This is smart for Lexus to do that to make it easier for the consumer not damaging or bending the rims and deforming the low profile tires there. It is a good balance.

True that...but for me it does not matter as I am waiting on the guys @ VOSSEN wheels to test fit the CV3 on the GS, also waiting for someone to market hi-proformance drop springs,as well as an exhaust system for this bad boy!
