I did notice this as well while cleaning them but mine isn't as bad. I have the rim and wheel protection so if mine ever does look like that, I will gladly drive into a Lexus dealership. Good luck though

Yikes. Are these your OEM rims, or were they refinished in the past?

You got a few options. Repaint them, powdercoat them, or buy a used rim. Painting vs powdercoating, choose whatever best fits you. I know some areas painting is more expensive than powdercoating, while other areas powdercoating is more expensive than painting.
