they are probably cast, they are expensive from the dealer. Sewell Lexus sells them $2100-2200 a set. Best thing to do is find someone's take offs. The are 28# a piece

Why are the cast, stock F-Sport wheels more expensive than the forged aftermarket F-Sport?

ah, that is kinda expensive. Thanks 4TehNguyen. Also, 28lbs is a bit heavy =( . Enkei has 18lbs wheels, and that is like 40 lbs shaved from wheels @ simlar price. Thanks again

It makes sense since it is 28 lbs each. I don't get why it is more expensive either, may be because dealer prices ? and Lexus brand ? hehe

Expensive because they (the dealerships) can do it. Pure profit and dealer markup. Best as mentioned above, is to find someone with take-offs who is trying to unload and make a few bucks. They are out there if you want them.
