Default Are the BBS RE-V and 2012-2014 OEM Rims - The same?
I was wondering if these two were Identical rims because BBS Japan has these in a slightly more aggressive offset but half and inch to a full inch wider. I love the OEM look and being able to go wider will allow for 285 or 295 to fit the rears would be awesome.

Here's the link https://bbs-japan.co.jp/products/560/

Close, The RE 048 and RE049 are darn close. Both have the correct bore sizes, but offset for both is off by by a hair. So no, not the same as stock.

Good to know! I have been looking for the 2012-2014 stock wheels for awhile, glad to know there are good alternatives out there. Thanks for sharing.

On my 2013 I have 285’s on the back and they fit perfectly. The 255’s up front are a perfect fit as well with these wheels. Can’t beat having a factory BBS forged wheel👍

The BBS centercaps are a different size than the Lexus ones.

Love these tires...can’t be beat for the price. Nearly the same amount of grip as the Bridgestone RE11.

Very close but not the same!

Contact us for pricing on them!

Might be able to take these down to Poway too.

Did you run the RE-11s previously? I’m currently on the Indy 500s with 6k miles, 100+ runs down the drag strip and a track day and they’re great! I’m on the 245/275 setup but will be going to 255/285 when it’s time. I was thinking about trying the RE11s due to more upcoming track days I’ll be attending this year so your feedback would be appreciated. But at 1/2 the cost the Indy 500s are hard to beat!

Those are beautiful! Wish I could source a set for my IS250C. I think it would look great. Any side view of the rear wheel, to see how it sits vs fender?

The RE-V is very similar, however there are differences (centre bore, lug nut type, centre cap size, etc.). The Lexus wheels are built as spec'ed by Lexus, but as said, they are very similar.
