Default Downsize to 19" wheels?

2020 LS500h with 20" Vapor Chrome Finish wheels. I'd like to downsize to the 19" Grey Machined pn 4261150660 for comfort and longevity reasons (non run-flats). There are plenty of used 'remanufactured' wheels available, but I'm hesitant buying a wheel that may not balance correctly or isn't structurally sound. Besides shelling out $700+ per wheel from the dealer, anyone have any suggestions on a source for 4 clean wheels? Thanks.

I’d like to do the same thing, but would be afraid of buying used or reconditioned, especially dealing with shipping costs and some outfit hundreds of miles away. If BBS or a reputable retailer made a very similar looking wheel I might consider it. However, I haven’t seen anything that didn’t look aftermarket. I hate aftermarket wheels on a luxury car.
Two of my 20s are slightly bent according to my local Discount Tire store. I can’t tell it if they are. I also have curb rash that isn’t that bad, but it bugs me. Pretty hard not to eventually clip a curb with a 123” wb car.
By the way, were 19” wheels available on a 2020 AWD LS500?

The pn I referred to were the standard wheels for the hybrid. Some type of aero design apparently.

Have you tried eBay or Facebook Marketplace?
