Default Questions regarding an extra set of 2014 F Sport OEM rims?

Any suggestions on where to buy an extra set of OEM rims for my 2014 IS350 RWD F Sport? I want another set with winter tires and want to keep the original F Sport look.

Also, I'm thinking about buying four front rims 18x8" and running 225/40R18 Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 all around. I can't find any decent winter tires in 255/35R18. The outer diameter of the 225/40R18 is 1.5mm larger then the 255/35R18 and I'm thinking there should be enough clearance for an extra 1.5mm. Any concerns or thoughts about this setup?

Thanks,
Matt

Your talking about a car that was just released 2 weeks ago so no there is no other option besides someone selling them off of their personal car.

Did you look at Sewell Lexus? They are obviously another Lexus dealership. They already have some parts for 2014 IS including a few choices of OEM wheels and one of them seems to be the one you are looking for.. check the prices and compare with your local dealership..

Hi John,

There are many parts departments of Lexus Dealerships that offer much lower prices via the Internet then most local dealership. One can save hundreds by ordering from a nonlocal Lexus dealership.

Matt

Sewellparts.com

After you register using your CL user name you get about 30% discount from their normal listed price. Still not cheap at ~$450/each and also getting 255/35/18 winter tires won't be easy or cheap. I'm thinking of using my stock F Sport rims for winter but going with 225/40/18 & 245/40/18s and getting 19" for summer.

You can also get the TPMS from Sewellparts.com for ~$60/each.
