Apologies for the delayed response. I do not know what is a fair price for these wheels are. When you add the option at directly from Lexus, it factors in the buy back for the stock wheels and should only charge you for the upgrade cost. So not sure how much it is if you order it directly. I suggest you contact the local Lexsus Parts dealer and find out how much it is. I am sure they can look up the stock wheel p/n for you.

Thanks for info. I found someone locally who want to get rid of 20 inch wheels that came with Luxury package and I grabbed without a second thought.

Last time a car got two stars in Australia and Europe was when Chinese car company Great Wall, released their Generation 1 Utilities back 15 years ago...

Shame FORD shame......

Default Replica wheels

I cant seem to find anyone selling used 20" V spoke ones so i can get them powder coated but i founf these replicas already in black chrome. What do you guys think?

Also found another website that sells them for $800 and they come in chrome to, actually it states 3 colors. He said my center caps will work on these. Advice please!

Curf, i am in the exact same boat as you. I have the luxury wheels with the inserts but i want the v spoke instead. I also looked at the replica ones on eBay as well. I am so tempted but i am not sure of the quality or if it affect my mpg on my 450h. I almcurious to what you ended up doing?

i have been looking but i cannot find any decent priced used oem v spoke wheels. I am even willing to trade but havent been able to find a company or individual yet.

I bought a set of factory V spoke wheels & tires (Michelin) on ebay for $2K. I just checked, and there are 2 sellers ($1375 and $1500) selling factory V spoke wheels.

I paid 1K for the 20 inch wheels with inserts
I bought it from some one very similar to your situation ( Upgraded to different OEM 20 inch wheels).

I am sure you can get a minimum of one thousand dollars

I had to spend another 1k on tires and installation

Trying to sell my 18 inch factory wheels and tires . It will end up in ebay shortly

Thank you for the info. I think i will go down that route. But it will mark it up by 12% to compensate for ebay fees!
