Genuine Toyota/Lexus? The wheels should have Toyota molded into the inner rim. Or wheels that could fit a Lexus? Are the "L" center inserts included? Four or five wheels?
I like mine and would recommend. A friend has a problem with one that was overtightened, the chrome cracked at the lug hole. But, noticeable only when pointed out.
Incidently, Lexus sells chrome wheel weights that fit the rim edge exactly. The lugs nuts are also Lexus provided...
