Default Which Lexus wheels look the best? Opinions?

Which one of these look the best? I'm leaning to the non stock Lexus ones as I think the Standard F Sport ones look just way too dark. Opinions? Thanks.

It's like asking for opinion on art. Very subjective. I love the stock ones. They really compliment the vehicle IMHO.

I like the base twin 5 spoke wheels, not the stock wheels you have posted. I like the F-Sport wheels though, look aggressive

I added them as well to compare. For the first time, I think they all look pretty darn good.

I'm wondering if the middle ones are a special order upgrade?

Yep they are.



About $150-ish for to change from base model wheels to base model of this "fan" design, and then if you want any color except the default one (pictured on the left), you pay extra $300-ish to get the color inserts replaced with the color you want (out of 3 available)

In addition, actually, there is a second (paid) option for base 5-spoke wheels, with "noise reduction" functionality. They are extra $350-ish and have metallic edges (not black ones), giving them a "lighter" look.

As for me, I went for the latter. Noise reduction base design ones. Sports look too "busy" and the second option feels too much like fan blades , and I actually liked the more metallic look of noise reduction ones (PLUS noise reduction - can't go wrong with that Of course, strictly IMO.

Unfortunately, I don't have good pics of 2 available versions of 5 spoke ones…

Hmm not too sure on these ones





They definitely suit the F-Sport





These look the best though IMO

I think the last one looks too much like flower pedals and is not very masculine. I like the multi-spoke design which you see a lot on luxury and sports cars.

I just wish the F Sport wheels weren't so dark.

I like those in the 1st picture best. It may take more time to clean.

I preordered these. If I was getting the Autumn Breeze color, I would have gotten the ones with the autumn breeze color insert. Unfortunately, I did not like the Autumn Breeze color and picked the Nebula Gray.
