I really like the updated look of the 2014 Gx but feel Lexus missed the mark on the factory wheels. I'm thinking about adding the F sport wheels from last years model to ours when we purchase.. Curious on what others think?

The problem with OEM wheels is the manufactures copy the current style that they think must be what the customers want, even when they actually look bad! For some reason most manufactures think that wheels with that flat hub cap look, with spokes, is what customers want (or maybe I’m missing something). It is funny when one manufactures changes from (let’s say) a single spoke to a double, within a model year all the other make the change. The current styles of wheels from just about all manufactures look like ****!

I didn't like the 2010-2013 wheels either, but I did like the wheels on my Limited 4Runner so I bought a set and put them on

these rims are outsourced by toyota and a few companies make them.
they suck imho.
apparently everyone is going to these split spoke designs.
personally, the 4runner 18 inch rims from 2007-2009 look the best and will fit the gx.

T4Fun

ehh,,those rims are too narrow for the gx, hope you didnt put 265s on them, highly unsafe..

Lolrax

Whee! that was fun! This forum is a blast tell me more!

I appreciate the GX is a bit heavier but ultimately they are only half an inch thinner than the GX's OEM 18inch shopping cart casters and were just fine on my 4Runner

I like how F-Sport wheels look on mine:

There is no good reason for comments like this!

Big trucks need simple wheels. The 2014 Premium wheels are too complicated....and whack. I would prefer the base model's rims. Oh well, I'll just keep them. First-world problems.

Are you sure the wheels are different ?? I believe that the only difference is the finish.

Super-sure.

The Base model has the basic 6-spokes

The Premium model has the multi-split spoke design

The Luxury model uses the same multi-split spoke design as the Premium, but in a darker finish.

Lexus.com is your friend

Yeah, the base has the same wheels as the 2010-2013 GX 460. I'm having mine chromed and think they will look a lot better in chrome.

T4Fun

Yes there is
When Lexus gets it right I will shut up

Eppieguy

They do! I have base wheels that are chrome.

Craig B

Mine are chrome on my 2010 and they sent my wheels out for chrome plating on my 2014 yesterday. My vehicle is on a lift at the dealer without wheels...
