Default Picture Request: ‘24 USB with Bespoke Matte Black Wheels

I’ve found a car build that I like, but I’m not sure that I love the Bespoke Matte Black wheels based on the configurator. (Even for the same price, let alone a few thousand more.) How matte is the matte? This car has a lot of shine, even with the dark chrome, and I feel like that matte may look out of place on the Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0. Are these the same wheels that were on the ‘21 Inspiration Series which looked good on a black car? Any pics on a USB coupe would be appreciated, but I’ll take pics on a USB convertible if that’s all that anyone has. I’m kind of on a clock, and need to make a decision way before I can see it up close. Thanks.

It’s doesn’t matter. They will get covered in brake dust that even if it’s gloss, it won’t be shiny for long.

@NickL is this you? Are you creating new accounts just to ask for permission to post additional pictures of your car? .

BTW: Need to respond to you in the other thread. Just been caught up. My vehicle should be arriving within a week!

Hahaha. I’m on travel and haven’t seen my car for almost a week. And before that, it was at the detailing shop for 10 days. So yeah….any chance to pull up its photos.

I’m not a black wheel guy but like others said, if you otherwise like the car, wheels are easy enough to change (and sell), so you could even go to a different stock Lexus wheel.

I ordered mine with the default wheels which I don’t love but I’ll probably just change them.

Get the car with the black wheels. Change them out with aftermarket if you like. In 10-15 years these wheels alone will be worth so much more than Lexus is charging you for them today.

I'd be happy to trade anyone for their black wheels. Mine are near perfect with 13k miles. Car just certified.
