Nice. Is it a UL (air suspension)? What year and mileage? I have '06 CL same color with OE chrome wheels. You have newer, sportier LS or GS wheels.

Wait, I was told the 460's have the 5X120 bolt pattern? I've been looking for wheels and everything I read was telling me the 07's and newer are the different bolt pattern.

Ok so.... at the rims shop... I had a convo with the sales guy... I really wanted the 19" 7-spoke rims from the LS 600hl...however ... he explained that 19" may hinder ride quality. And they may rub the well on turns..... the 5-spoke rims like the ones I have also come in 19" on the 460... but he also showed me that the 5-spoke comes in 18" which is the optional size offered on the 04-06.. so I went safe with the 18" to maintain ride quality. He never really mentioned bolt pattern.

Ok, I see. So these are 04-06 wheels, or are they actually 07 and newer 18's?

I believe that this style is offered aftermarket in 5x114.3 now. A Toyota wheel will be 5x120.

Seems odd Toyota would change to a BMW and GM-Holden stud pattern out of nowhere, but Ford did the same on the Mk7 Fiesta, going from 4x108 to 4x100, so really making things easier in that regard
