Positive = Liking the wheels and look of the RS-As and their grip.

Negative = RS-As (a little stiff and noisy, and poor longevity)

How do you find the noise/ride comfort and any handling improvements?

the RS-As are actually pretty good (so far) it was raining for the past few days and they grip pretty well. as far as handling. it defintely improved handling and stability of the vehicle. coming from the factory 19x7.5(if im not mistaken) to these 20x9s so far overall im hype about my new wheels. i chose this over the tsw interlagos in flat black. i think it gives the vehicle a more factory but sportier look.

I like the rims a lot. Great choice!

What did you do for the center caps? Will you be placing a Lexus logo there or just leave as is?

"Baby's got a new pair of shoes."...They look great! Fabulous pictures!
Looks like you've installed the super-sidewalk-sensor for self-drive in the suburbs.
Seriously - Very nice.

very nice. I appreciate you posting pics of the anthracite color. I am getting new wheels for my F sport and was going back and forth between the niche targa in black or anthracite. I was worried that the black would be too dark, and the anthracite too light. But i think the anthracite color is the perfect color.

Looks good, kind of similar to Vossen CV3 also you might wanna paint the calipers for a better look

I think they look nice. I wouldn't know what might look good so I would never end doing anything. I think they look great. I'm just not very adventurous so I congratulate you on the fresh look.
