i really like those wheels, but here's what i still don't have info on.
i want to know the weight of the factory forged 21's with tires and how much these or any other options rims and tires weigh. haven't been able to find that info.
Lexus boutique usually has inflated price. I bet you can get them for that price or less from the other vendors here. They definitely look nice but for that price you could get some quality forged from HRE with better fitment. These are exact specs as the polished aluminum 21"
Pricing appears comparable to what you have to pay for premium aftermarket wheels. Wheels looks nice but I think aftermarkets look betta. However, there are some benefits in getting wheels direct from Lexus. Service department won't have an alibi when you complain about ride quality. And Insurance company can't renege on your coverage and replacement if something ever happened to them. That may not be a concern for those who are financially able to replace out of pocket.

I cannot confirm this is correct but this was posted by a member in another group. First weights are the 21s we mostly have.
Note these are off a 2021 build and Lexus lightened the wheels for this year so older models will be a little more.
Fronts weigh 15.8kg/34.8lbs
Rears weigh 16.1kg/35.5lbs
For those that are interested the TRD wheels are
Fronts 13.5kg/29.7lbs
Rears 14.4kg/31.7lbs
roughly 10% weight savings per corner is decent. i have a '21 so apparently the lighter stockers. i wonder how much lighter lexus made them vs. the prior years.
I like those wheels. But at 9K, they are as much as my custom HREs for my RC F. Honestly, I like the 21 inch wheels at came on the LC. I think they fit the car. But, I can see why people should change them out for a different look. But, the last thing I would need is another set of wheels at the house that I need to get rid of.
They look great but that’s a lot of money. I would probably go with CCW’s, Advans, or HRE’s for that much money. It’s cool that they’re BBS’, since they make excellent quality wheels. Japanese BBS’ have always been really expensive and these are 21 inch wheels on top of that.
I like my stock 21 inch wheels and would only buy another Lexus wheel if I replaced them. Not spending 9k...and for that money I can think of much better mods.
