Been looking around at some wheels, and someone I knew was willing to sell me their Inspiration model wheels for 5k. Would this be a reasonable deal?

If they’re in great shape or new from take off, that would be reasonable. These are ~5k each if you have to get it from Lexus.
Just keep in mind that you usually never get what you paid for on used wheels. I’m having a hard time selling my RCF wheels.

They're pretty new, from what I'm aware of he's driven about 800-1000 miles on them before removing them for some other rims. The problem I'm going to have is selling my current set of LC500 wheels. How long have you been trying to sell your RCF wheels for now?

Probably 6 months. I haven’t really tried. I posted on Craigslist and here. I have 3 sets of wheels in my basement lol. I really should try to get rid of them.
But I’m also looking for another set of wheels for winter for my LC. But I’m afraid the same fate for these wheels. End up in my basement.
I saw these when I was looking for LC wheels. It’s tempting and the only reason why I haven’t bought them because I’m having a hard time finding the winter tires for these sizes.

Oh man, that would be such a pain. I seriously do need to get rid of the set I have on now. I don't really need to worry about snow because of my location thankfully, so no need for winter sets.

Anyone know if these were an option at some point? This is a 2022 LC 500, the wheels are 21" like the standard wheels but man do I prefer the look of these!

I’ve been watching these. I guess at some point, it was offered on the LC500. Probably very limited.
I do like them but that price.

Once the run flats on my LC are worn down, I'll make the switch to regular tires.

I don't necessarily drive the car hard, so I'd prefer a more comfortable experience while driving but still being able to have some decent traction. What are the recommendations you guys have ran?

These are TRD Japan LC 500 forged aluminum wheels:

TRD JAPAN 2018-2023 Lexus LC 500/500h 21inch Premium Forged Aluminum W – LexusBoutique.net | Lexus Boutique International | JDM Lexus Parts & Accessories Boutique

TRD - Lexus LC500 21inch Forged Aluminum Wheel - Nengun Performance

They were never offered on the LC 500 from the factory for North America.

They are the same specs as the factory 21" wheels, except for a slight difference in offset, 20mm vs 25mm.

I'm getting close to finally ordering a set of the Vossen HF-1's in the stock sizes and in satin silver. I want the rims to look like they could have come on the car from the factory. I'll install factory silver Lexus center caps. I have a red 2024 convertible with the ugly rims. I've posted this before and I'm doing it one last time. Looking for pictures of anyone that has put the HF-1's in silver on their LC500. I have seen the pictures of someone that has them in black on a black LC500.

I have been putting this off but my concern is one day they may no longer offer these and I'll be unhappy I did not order them when they were available. I looked at many aftermarket rims. This one is the only one I'm interested in. A big factor is the stock Lexus center cap fits them.

I've stuck these right onto center caps of aftermarket wheels before and it makes them look OEM https://natalexauto.com/lexus/lexus-...waAk-bEALw_wcB

Hey, are you riding on stock suspension?

I have been looking at the same wheels, but worried they may look off on stock. I was actually considering 22"

Suspension is all stock, might lower at some point, but I am happy with the look and ride currently.

Is there a way to get these to work on a 2024 with the new wheel mounts?
