So earlier, I was parking next to a curb and ended up chipping the rim a tiny bit. I was wondering what paint code these rims are or if anyone has any recommendations on touch up paint I could use to repair the chip. I've seen several threads about F SPORT rim colors but none about the non-F SPORT rims. Thanks!

Anyone ever figure out what paint to use for the non f sport wheels??

Rim repair services are usually inexpensive and will do a better job of blending it in than a DIY. touch up will be very noticeable.

I haven't found the paint code or reccomended touch up paint for the wheels yet... searched several forums.
The "hyper silver" it's called is made up of 2 coats of paint darker undercoat topped with the silver. That may be why I haven't found a single application touch-up paint...it may not exist being that it takes 2 colors to create the finish.

Just my observation. I'm planning a call to the dealer to see what they say, but in the past they hire 3rd party for rim repair anyways.

Thanks for the update, I may just try and get some paint matched to them. Just need to re paint the lips, I'm sure a slight color difference won't be hugely obvious.
Bought the car used for a great price partly due to the rims all having rash, and I'm not looking to spend 800$+ to have them all refinished.

Very doubtful it would cost that much to repair a rim. You might be able to pick up used Lexus rims, a whole set of them, for that much or less.

I'm in Canada... I assume you're in the states?
last time I called the local wheel repair place it was 180+ to repair a wheel and they need to do all 4 if you want them to match.
To buy new would be 2400$ and used the best I've seen was 1200 for oe wheels, but I actually like the ones on the car better.
And when it comes to aftermarket, in the past I've had issues with bent rims. I've found the oe Lexus rims to be surprisingly strong so I'm a little scared to spend 800$ on new rims because I highly doubt they'll be as strong.
Once I put my winters on I'll figure something out.

Thanks.
