For anyone who's in the market, I've just put my 20-spokes up for sale in the wheels and tires section. About 3K on wheels and tires. $2.2K + shipping. Would love to see these go to a good home.

Nobody has mentioned this, but IMO, the top option wheels (HAND-POLISHED 19-IN SPLIT-20-SPOKE FORGED ALLOY WHEELS) are asymmetric, much like the '08 ISF wheels were. With the ISF, Lexus made the wheels corner specific (4 unique wheels per car). They have not done this with the RCF split 20 spoke wheels. So the wheels look different on one side of the car (trailing black spoke) than on the other side (leading black spoke). Anyone agree with me on this?

I was actually running this through my mind. I thought they were like the ISF and unique to each corner but I hesitated to point it out until I went and looked at an new RCF and from the factory I guess they have them leading instead of trailing. I personally think trailing looks good. Glad someone else said something before I made a stupid remark?

I just purchased some of these wheels. I'm going to go with MPSS 255/295 combo and see what happens. I know I have to roll rear fender. I think it will look sweet on a MM ISF.

So the 20 spoke RCF hand polished19x9 with 50 offset weighs 26.6 lbs per wheel and the 19x10 with 41 offset weighs 28.7 lbs per.

Hmm, so the standard wheels are:

9" = 25.5 lbs
10" = 28.0 lbs

And the Polished wheels are:

9" = 26.6 lbs
10" = 28.7 lbs

Polished wheels are a pound heavier in front and close to a pound in back.

Yeah, kind of heavy. Scales are certified refrigerant scales too so I know they're accurate.

Oh well, I wanted factory and some tire width. Think front and rear will end up close to the same weight ultimately against the combo I have now (2011 factory wheels with mismatched tires) with a wider stance and lighter tires (MPSS).

Did you roll rear? Looking like I need to do that on the 275/35 tire setup.

I bought them with the car but from what I can tell it is not rolled, but it has 265 on them so I do not have any rubbing.

Damn those are kind of heavy . My HRE 19x11 is 23.3 lbs and my 19x9 in front is less than 20 lbs . I like the spoked wheels more but the oem fitment and ride is hard to beat .
