Default New Wheels for the RX 500h?

Just purchased a 2024 RX 500h F Sport but the all black 21" wheels need to go. Couldn't locate one with the optional 21" wheels so wondering if anyone has seen any other posts showing different wheels for the 500h, aftermarket included. I haven't seen any threads from anyone changing their wheels out. Anyone have any experience with this?

Here's what they look like. It's a gloss dark gray metallic finish. I have them on my 2024 500h (and it knocked $110 US off the window sticker). I'm not a big fan of matte finishes, think maybe it got over done (at least I overdid it on a couple of past vehicles).



Not as good wheel pic, here they are on my Copper Crest.

Not bad but I don't think I will go with those either. Our Lexus dealer said there was no way to order a car now. The only option is to search the Lexus inventory and get a close as you can to what you want. We went the other route and said we would take the one on the lot but they needed to remove the cost of the items we didn't want. Since we were looking for a rather loaded 500h it wasn't too difficult.

I'm looking at OEM options and aftermarket but there doesn't seem to be a lot of images showing the RX with aftermarket rims.

Did you create the rendering of the blue RX? What kind of rims are those. Nice look and if I could get a polished edge on them, they would be in the running.

Tire Rack doesn't have the pictures of the wheels on an RX as they do for other makes, but they DO have MANY different wheels that will fit. (Mostly 20")

Discount Tire had nuthin' listed.

I had my wheels powder coated gloss black and it made all the difference as I didn't like the matte black either.

Do you have any pictures of them now and if I may ask, how much did that cost?

@Chris442 For me, a proper route for this would be dismount tires, sandblast wheels, powder wheels, remount and balance wheels and tires. In the Seattle area, I would see for this service be at least $100 a wheel which would be about $500 after taxes which is a big no for me.

If looking at new wheels, one should consider 20" as there are a ton of tire options for that size.

I looked into that, can get a 20*9 in there easy and can run a 265 on those.20*10 and you'll stick out slightly from the guards and your about 5mm from the strut and that was with a +40 offset. You'll decrease your rolling diameter by 6% which will be good for acceleration but no idea if it will affect any of the wheel speed sensors

I'm figuring I'll stick with 235/55-20 which is very close to stock diameter. There are about 50 different tire options in that size.
