I have found None, Zero examples from Any makers that have a two tone effect with the spokes alternating in tone even Remotely similar to the Inspiration wheels.
I don't get it, it's not like Lexus broke the atom with those wheels. Stupid *** wheel makers. What, you can't somedamnway
two tone half your spokes if you can sell the same wheel for 3 TIMES as much? WTH?
I have comsidered looking for a wheel that I can have the alternating spokes powdercoated but that added finish
step would be a major logistical PIA. Bruce in Fl

Two weeks ago, I bought a certified 2021 LC with Dynamic Handling Package and 25k miles on the clock for $70k out of the door and without government fees, I test drove a 2021 Convertible owned by a private party with 18k miles and he was asking $78k and would sell for couple thousands discount.

Can you share any details?

I'm looking for a nice blue or infrared convertible with toasted caramel interior.

I did not want a convertible, mine was bought from Lexus of Omaha online and was shipped to Las Vegas, it was in a very good condition and worth the certification description.
Check Autotrader.com private party exchange, there is a 2021 blue convertible in Las Vegas with 18,108 miles which I test drove and it was very good car, there is a red one in Los Angeles with toasted caramel interior, don't be afraid to bargain the price down, do your research before making an offer if you are interested.

I've owned both the Nightfall Mica (dark blue) and Ultrasonic Blue (new blue for 2024) with caramel interiors. The Nightfall Mica looks amazing in absolutely perfect light, and is too dark in all other light. The Ultrasonic Blue looks amazing all the time.

Not sure if you have a budget / limit but my advice, either buy an ultrasonic blue now or wait for them to depreciate to your price point.

'21 Nightfall Mica:




'24 Ultrasonic Blue:

I think your Nightfall Mica is gorgeous!

I think Nightfall Mica with Toasted Caramel would be my ideal spec.

Thanks to both of you for responding. I appreciate it.

@bubbadog : drive one with caramel interior first. I had a conversation with a LC500 owner before I got mine and she complained about a distracting reflection of the dashboard on the windscreen. I checked, agreed and then got the red interior (which still matches well with the Nightfall Mica).

That was an inside shot with a lot of light. This is what it looks like outside without perfect light: Living with the car for 3 years, I would say that it is very hard to see that it's blue in most situations.

Thanks for sharing that picture.

I think it is a spectacular looking combination. There doesn't seem to be many in that configuration.

I'm officially looking for an accident free nice example.

I would also consider a Smoky Granite/Toasted Carmel/black top car.

If anyone has any leads, please forward them.

Thanks again!
