Man, that wheel would look SO MUCH better if they just added a damn lip! I mean if BMW can do it (and who doesn't like most of BMW's optional wheels?), why can't Lexus/Toyota?

Also, are those 16's? The "wheel decision" group at Toyota needs to pushed off a cliff...a high cliff...

Keep in mind that these wheels will be offered in conjunction with the original 5-spoke wheel. Besides, this wheel will probably be as successful as the 6-spoke wheel option offered for the IS. BOMB!

I don't get it, why would someone choose those over the 17" 5-spokes?

i get what you're saying, that's more of a tire choice than a wheel choice though.
