Default Enkei Wheels Question

I just took a set of Enkeis off of my 2024 RC350 and listed them for sale in the CL Marketplace. Can anyone confirm if these came from the factory on the IS500 as well? If so what years as I know my friends IS500 came with BBS? I just want to make sure I represent them correctly to potential buyers. Thank you.

Yep, these are the Enkeis that comes with the IS 500 (BBS wheels are also available).

These will fit the IS 300/350/500 from 2021 onward (2022+ for the 500 as it only started in 2022)

Yes those are factory Enkei wheels with a darker finish. I see them mostly on 2023 MY 500's. Btw, your RC 350 looks freakin sweet!! Now that I think about it, Lexus should have made an RC 500 F Sport.

2022 MY IS 500's came with those wheels except they had a bright silver finish. I cobbled together a set. I found 2 locally in Philadelphia and the other two I had shipped from Los Angeles.

^^ I agree!! The RC was an amazing coupe! The only flaw was the AWD (available in this variant only in Canada) and its horrendous front wheel gap!

Thank you! Hey there is always the RCF if you have the itch for a v8 variant...lol

It's a bit funny I ended up in a RC as I was shopping for an IS and saw this show up at the dealer....rest is history

Yup, that stock front awd wheel gap is horrible, but I do like the shift pattern on the 6spd for daily driving, just wish it had the v8 lol...believe it or not I actually lowered my front with RSR downs. Here is a pic with the new wheel setup...very similar just forged with a bit more aggressive offset and wider tires.
