Does anyone know where the OEM pre-2024 21" forged wheels are made in? I'm purchasing a 2020 LC 500 but the car doesn't come with the OEM wheels instead it's a set of Vossen Hybrid Forged HF-4T with 265 in the front and 295 in the rear. I found some used OEM wheels and they look genuine, with the Lexus logo on the back, some DOT numbers and a "Made in Taiwan". Not sure if that's right or not.
lexus logo is a + for being correct...I do believe they were and are being made in Taiwan. U seem to be going in wrong direction with wheel choice......lots of interest in Vossens(not me) so they should be easy to sell if the off sets are correct.

Thanks for that confirmation. I'm a little mixed on the Vossen's, and just going by the tire size I think all 4 wheels are the 21x10.5 size with a +38 offset. I also never cared much about the two tone OEM wheels but I've seen people powder coat them a satin black and it looks really good.

Highly doubt the fronts are 21x10.5 with that tire size. Doesn't make a lick of sense to be that. It's probably a 9 or 9.5 in the front.

Maybe Not I don't know the measurements of Telim's Vossens, But the Hybrid Forged wheel is not a true forged wheel. Forged Vossens are far more expensive The stock 21" LC500 wheels are true forged wheels.

Not me either. Only reason I would go with after market wheels would be to go wider with rear tire. Riding a 355 series rear on my Maserati GT, kinda takes care of that "wider tire" itch, for me....🫡
Here's some pictures of the wheels on the LC. Would like some opinions on it. Looking at Vossen's site sizing options (assuming I'm right about the model). The 21x9 concave profile is only flat and the 21x10.5 are only deep. Judging these photos they seem to be the deep profile, but I'm not even close to a wheel expert so feel free to correct me here. As FlowRider mentioned these Vossen's aren't truly forged. I thought the OEM 21's were and powder coated they look pretty good. Although I do like being able to step up to wider tires. https://vossenwheels.com/wheel/hf-4t/
It's kinda hard to see in the picture but the center cap says Vossen Hybrid Forged which I don't think is their higher end truly forged wheels.
You guys are talking about different pictures. Flowrider was just showing you that HIS wheels are forged, vs. yours which are hybrid forged. He's not saying yours are forged. It was just quoted weirdly so I see where the confusion came from.

Oops! Thanks for that clarification. Makes way more sense now. I do like Flowrider's wheels way more.
