They look great but I imagine will be difficult to keep clean around the small nuts (or whatever they are.)

Looks good especially on an obsidian RX. Don't powder coat the rims. Instead spend the money on decent wheel wax/sealant, cleaner and brushes. Tell us how you like the ride after a few days of driving.

Yes i will keep the hyper chrome color , i think that what it's called.. The ride is not as smooth and light as stock wheels and you can feel that the engine works harder and this is just one size up from stock. I can't image how harder the engine needs to work with larger sizes such as 20 and up( i was thinking of doing 20 and i am happy that i didn't do that). and the TMPS light kept going off and on , i brought it to Lexus and the tech told me there was no sensor on the wheels and just ignore the warning light. I think i will check the alignment out later. Any one know if Lexus will do that for free if the car is still under the warranty?

You get one alignment free from Lexus in the first year/12K miles, whichever comes first. After that, it's your dime. Interesting description about the engine working harder. How much do the new rims weigh? They look heavy. I think the OEMs are somewhere around 60-70 lbs. And did you go from 18" to 19"?

Not sure about the weight but these wheels were TRD for Lexus RX330 and yes i went from 18 to 19 with 255/45 tires.
