I want to know if any of you ClubLexus LC 500 fans like one of the new wheels offered on the 2024 LC 500? They reversed the color on the 21” optional wheel and personally I think it looks hideous. Not because I own an LC with the original 21” design but it doesn’t really look good, in my personal opinion. Does anyone else agree with me? Please comment, I’m really curious. Thank you.

Original 21” wheel offered on the LC 500 from 2018-2023

New 2024 LC 500 21” wheel.

 

I agree they look terrible,Lexus needs a new design team for LC wheels.

 

yeah don't care for that change but there's 3 types of wheels at least (from the brochure):

 

I think none of the 2024 wheels are really new, the top two just have alternative shiny parts on the same designs of the previously available wheels.

 

Agree on that I would never have thought a simple inversion can make such a different impression. The previous one had the "bling" effect reminiscent of high-end jewelry whereas the new one looks like some cheap aftermarket mod.
Also notice the new one has different fastening screws. I wondered if two wheels are interchangeable.

yes these flower pedal wheels are so weird looking.... im not sure if i really like them or really hate them. Cant make up my mind.

 

The new fasteners are now wheel bolts, like I have on my Porsche.

 

I really do not care for the new 5 spoke style.
The 10 spoke style is not too bad but I still prefer the old style 5 spoke.

 

I couldn’t say it any better.

 

The wheels are the same except for the color inversion The reason for the different hardware is that for this year Lexus is switching from lug studs and nuts to lug bolts. A change that I am not on board with

Also, in blowing up and inspecting the sidewall of the Michelin PSS5 I don't see any lettering suggesting that it is an RFT tire. Michelin uses the notation "ZP" on the sidewall of an RFT, and places the markings after the tire model as shown below. So, wondering if RFTs are sill part of the picture in 2024

 

i believe that middle one is new.

 

Not sure if these were only available on the Inspiration but they have grown on me. What say you?

 

I'm aware they are the same design only the color is different, but are you saying that the original rim (2023 and prior) can be fitted with lug bolt too? coz it would be a shame if there's no way to switch back. The old one is what makes the car looks like a concept.

 

best looking OEM rims for sure.

 

Only for the inspiration series. That's usually the first compliment I get about my car. People really love these rims in person.

I just got back from my dealership an hour ago and the service guys kept asking me about the rims. They never saw them in person and didn't even realize that they existed until today.
