Default What are standard rims on 09 IS250 AWD?

Ordered a 2009 IS250 AWD with the Navigation and Luxury Package, and in the fax the salesmen sent me it included 17" 10-spoke alloy wheels. From the Lexususa website's Build Your Own, I was assuming those twin 5-spoke rims (seen in this post) were base and would be included in my purchase? Is it possible that the dealer is putting on 08 (or older) rims on it, or are those the standard rims?

Look under the details of the Luxury Pkg, which should include the Premium Pkg. it'll show 18" wheels. It'll always show the 17" on the standard. But it'll be replaced with any Premium or Sport Pkg for 18"

AWD always comes in 17" 10 spoke rims no matter what package, unless you purchased the F sport wheels or the Gspiders or ISP.

AWD comes with 17", including if you get the Lux Pkg. Sport Pkg is N/A on AWD. Mikez is right--10 spokes. '09 10-spokes look very similar to the '06-'08, but the spokes are a bit more rounded. Website says 18" G-Spyders are available as an option, but here in Penna, I think that would have had to be special ordered.

My dealer said if I wanted the non-standard wheels (and tires), I'd have to pay out of pocket and then try to sell my OEMs. Not worth it right now.
