Default Wheels on Fsport

Can someone confirm for me, all Fsports come with the same style 18" wheel, correct? There aren't multiple options, right? The 225s and 235s are put in the same wheel? (Excluding the 19" option)

Getting my order sheet all lined up.

Thanks

If I'm not mistaken there is a difference in wheels depending if you get the summer or all season tires. The AWD with All season tires has the machined finish with black sides on the spokes. The summer tire version is all silver/brushed, etc

Ah! That must be the difference. I saw Fsports online and couldn't figure out why they had differing wheels.

Thank you

As per ALE81, same wheel, but two finishes.

Thank you for the clarification.

Is there anyone on this forum that would be able to look at a build sheet and tell me if anything is glaringly missing (For example - I noticed there is no specific build code for AWD v. FWD, and I want to make sure I didn't miss something)? I can private message you a word document. I just have a slight amount of distrust in my dealership's ability to do this right, and I'd appreciate someone double checking me.

Thanks for posting these side by side. I am ordering with the summer tires because I want the non-machined rims (which I think look better on certain colors like Eminent White that we're getting). I would imagine the ride will be firmer with the lower profile tire. Sometimes I wonder if that's the whole difference in the professional reviews I read and some say the F Sport is too firm and others say too soft for a sport model. It seems to possibly correlate with whether they drove with the summer tires or not in my observation. I think I will choose more sidewall for my snow tires.

Just wondering if anyone has seen these wheels in person or has ordered them with their NX? I'm considering changing my order with these included but have not seen them in person. Wondering if they are worth the cost or I should go aftermarket once I receive my NX. I'm not really sure I like the machined/black look of Fsport wheels (with all season tire option).

I'm not 100% sure but I think those rims are accessories to be added by the dealer after the car arrives. Much like how Acura does with SO many accessories.

You might be right. When I ordered my previous GS I ordered different Lexus wheels and they just swapped them out at port. But maybe the NX is different, I'll have to double check.
