GX 470 & BMW Rims?
I currently own a Lexus GX 470 and I am looking to replace the manufacturer's rims with a BMW 3-series style rims. Please take a look at the attached picture and recommend a manufacturer who produces similiar style rims like those found in the picture and on many BMW 3 series. I'm not looking for anything too flashy (polished or chrome rims) ... just a basic alloy ...
I've searched many different websites, but I can't seem to find what I am looking for.
TIA!

The GX has a 6-lug bolt pattern, so be sure you're looking at truck/SUV wheels when you look at options.
Also, they need to be load-rated properly for the GX- a car wheel won't cut it. I know you're just using the wheels on the car as an example, I just want to make sure you don't wander down the wrong path!
BTW, the bolt pattern is 6x139.7, also known as 6x5.5"
Ther was a guy here on the board (0to60in5.7?) who bought HRE 648Rs in 20" for his GX- looked sweet! They are a similar seven-spoke design, but not exactly a BMW replica...
Happy hunting!!

one, unfortunately, according to the tire rack, they have not measured the GX yet.
SoCal, thanks for the kind words. Yes the HRE 648Rs are a seven spoke pattern but with a huge lip.
Drew, here is a link to some threads of pics with 20s on GXs. Both are 7 spoke designs.
