I saw a GS today with these wheels:

LP640:

Inspiration, or imitation?

I think we all know

I guess I don't really see where Lexus copied, in this instance. They're similar, but there are so many wheels that look similar today so Lexus isn't alone. Mercedes uses the exact same wheel on some AMG models as Porsche does on Turbo and Turbo-look 911s.

This is pretty far-fetched. I can't see the resemblance.

So you went to all that trouble to find those photos and create this thread... all for what... to try and make Lexus look like cheap imitators? Geez you are shallow.

Somebody please close this immature and pointless thread please.

Meh! There are some similarities but overall a bit far fetched.

It was a joking jab, beemer. I'm sorry you can't take a joke

Try not to get personally offended by everything said about Lexus

Again, pointless. The fact you admit it was a 'jab' shows your immaturity.
Goodness know what you were trying to get out this thread.

As you can see, none of the other members who've replied in this thread saw it as a fun joke either. They gave a straight and simple answer. ..and also, no need to be sorry for me mate. I feel sorry for you that you have this chip on your shoulder about Lexus and that you actually were bothered enough to create this stupid thread just to try and take a cheap shot at Lexus.

You don't like Lexus, we get it. Either get over it, or go find another forum which has members who think at the same level as you do, coz these sort of cheap immature threads have little to no value on GCZ.

Hahaha... unlike you, this isn't a personal thing for me. On a personal level I could care less what you think of Lexus. If you criticise them with good reasoning, I'll engage in a productive discussion (as we did in another thread not too long ago)... but when you and other members like yourself create these pointless, flaming and immature threads, I can't help but think how it's negatively affective GCZ, especially the quality of discussions on here, which has gradually been deteriorating. Other long-term members like myself feel the same way about this issue, but I guess I'm just more vocal about it. That's why I asked one of the moderators to close this thread.
Their lack of action in recent times to address this issue has made me become more vocal about the issue rather than just be passive and sit-back and watch things get worse here.

lol I seem to be able to rile you up very easily

No, those are not Lamborghini wheels. Lexus has started to take inspiration from Volvo!

Naa, I think those wheels on the Lexus look very well and I can't think of any other that looks exactly the same. It is a very standard "propeller" design so there will be those that look a bit like it.
