Talking Anyone got these wheels???

This is looking like it's got to be my next modification!

Wondering if anyone has got them already and if so do thay have a photo, or are they not availible in the USA? I haven't seen a single Lexus with them... yet. Saw them at the dealers last night hung on the wall. They are 18 inch accessory wheels for the new LS so they may be very new design.

This is new from Lexus in the UK. I just got the price £460 per bare wheel. Thats US$788 per bare wheel! I could understand if it was magnesium. Or 20 inches. But for an 18? How we are ripped off with prices in the UK...

I know it takes tyres size 245/45. It's the accessory wheel for the new LS430.

FOr $788 a piece plus tax and shipping, i rather get something better on 19's staggered setup. Check with GS4Will on CL. He imports rims directly from JAPAN and he's very reliable. I've done business with him and his price is very very good.

for 3grand you can get almost any set of aftermarket 18s you can think of. Or you could get a set of 19inch Volks with tires for that price.

I'm guessing it's 8" wide if they're recommending a 245/45 series tire.
