While in the target parking lot today we saw a new gx460 with factory wheels that I really prefer over our OEM wheels. The gx460 hasn't changed since 2010 I think so they should fit fine, and tire size was the same.. I know take off's are a thing-especially for trucks, so where is the best place to find them? Should I ask someone at the Lexus dealership to hook me up? So far, I've only seen them on eBay. Rims I like attached.

I have no particular company to recommend, but plugging "factory take-off wheels" into duckduckgo.com got me a number of results of folks who say they sell OEM take-offs.

Turbax might have some.

That looks like they just do wheel repair?

Maybe Craigslist? I'm not sure how many people buy aftermarket wheels for their GX460 but its worth a shot.

That seems to be the issue. I've found one set with tires, but in black.  This is basically a soccer mom/old fart car.

Bigger junkyards/recyclers near me in MA have takeoffs. Someone totals a vehicle, the wheels or wheels/tires go into an area with racks of 'em.

 

 

Or this?

See if car-part.com has any listed near you. They have the option to browse wheels by make model and year with image/specs.

There’s a tire shop local to me that has take offs. It’s a smaller shop, I imagine the larger chains wouldn’t work like that.

Craigslist has a dedicated section for wheels and they seem to be mostly people trying to unload spare takeoffs.

This.  If my experience is indicative of all of them, they'll be refinished OE wheels and virtually indistinguishable from new.  Got 4 17" MB wheels for $540 including shipping.  

This one?  https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=8150584&cc=3298532&jsn=330

Go right to the dealership.  I’ve done it myself in the past.  Ask the parts guys if they have anything.
