Polished Graphite - what is it???
I have yet to see a PP RX so I haven't any idea on how the wheels are different from the standard rims. Can someone explain? I've heard a cross between stock and chrome but that doesn't tell me much.

I've got em and while I don't think they're as sharp as Chrome they came included in my Performance Package. At first glance they appear to be chrome - but really just a more shiny alloy (or graphite)

Polished Graphite wheels from Lexus are alloy wheels that have been offered for a few models in the past. Namely, the 2002 Coach Edition RX 300, and the IS 300. They have a slightly darker finish than silver alloy wheels. The RX 330 offers the same finish on the Performance Package. The RX 330 wheels will be 5-spoke.
Here are some pics.

I think polished graphite wheels look the best. I had them on my IS, which I sold today! But, I can't order them on my 330 because the Hawaii dealers suck. I've found a similar looking rim @ Tirerack, which I'll probably end up buying 'cause the 17's are damn UGLY!?!
