i know the wheel you speak of, its a one piece knock-off style.
its totally up to you and i have had many many and i mean Many discussions w/ fellow CL members on this subject (one piece fake/knock-offs) and my conclusion is..........................its totally up to you.
In fact, I have several sponsorship offers from companies who make replica style wheels and they have given me outlandish offers to showcase their product and while i'm still considering it, i have not as of yet pulled the trigger.

Krock,
Right after getting my car I couldn't stand the stock look so I also went to Discount Tire and bought some 19x8.5 Konig Appeals.
Cost me about $1,800.00 for all the wheels and tires. I definitely was happy for a while until I started reading ClubLexus! Looking back now, I know why even though I thought my wheels were great, I still got some people pointing and whispering and laughing. I was like, WTF???
I even had some OLD guy driving a MB walk up to my car in the parking lot and say "Nice ride.... Too bad your wheels are knock-off 2-piece" The funny thing is, I had NO IDEA WTF he was talking about, lol. I just gave him a dirty look and said, whatever!
Well to make a long story short, yes "ted920" is absolutely correct. It's totally up to you, JUST LIKE it was totally up TO ME at the time I got my wheels.
With that said, I now wish I would of saved that $1,800.00 so I could of put it towards some nice real 3-piece (or 2-piece) wheels. I know there are a LOT of nice original 1-piece wheels also but I just like the look of 2 and 3 piece wheels.
Anyway, like a lot of guys here will tell you, it's a lot better to save up a little longer for some really nice wheels. You'll BE A LOT happier you did it in the long run.
Not to mention the fact that you're driving a Lexus!!! It really started to bug me when I knew my wheels didn't deserve to be on such a nice ride
