That's a beauty of a LC500!!

Jakexus, i was also wondering the same thing before the purchase.Different in a natural sunny sky!:thumbup:

There's a crazy 30K markup at Riverside Lexus. At least the pictures give you a better idea of the paint if you zoom in. It also looks like a full-size spare.

New 2025 LEXUS IS 500 | STK# 00252828 | Lexus of Riverside | Riverside, CA

Sure looks like a full size spare. Somebody needs to go over and pull off the cover.

^^^ see below from someone on FB with the car.

This spare is eating a lot of trunk space. I wonder if the spare and it's cover can be removed and easily replaced with an IS trunk floor board and carpet. I really don't want to carry this around. If I get a flat, I'm flat bedding it anyway.

Is that the wheel they use for the spare or did the user change the spare wheel?

That's what comes with the car.

I like that wheel better than the one that comes on the car. It's not painted black like everything else.

I have seen this setup on the GS F and RC F outside the USA...

Wait, you guys dont have the bright yellow one?

We are talking about the new 2025 Ultimate Edition model spare and I showed one in an overseas RC F. Everyone else should have the yellow 5 spoke wheel.

i don’t see why not. Not like the trunk of car is different just remove the spare add the trunk board and carpet and you should be good. Low key would love to have that spare for fun lmao.

Let me just chime in here to say a few weeks back when my right rear tire got destroyed, I sure appreciated having that spare. Saved my bacon.

In my previous BMW M2C, there was no spare, just fix-a-flat. Luckily I did not need to use it.

I will ALWAYS take a spare over run-flat tires or fix-a-flat.

yup I always like having it just in case. Only every used the spare on my 250 once that was few years ago.

The pics from Lexus of Riverside are BY FAR the nicest exterior pics of the UE I have seen so far and made me drool, until I saw the interior. On some pics, the interior contrast seems to pop so nicely, while in some, it looks washed out. I guess the real thing will need to be seen before a decision is made
