The guy that owned my car before me refinished one wheel and it stood out so he re did all 4 in a color that looks close to oem but since I had another set on my is250 right next to it I could tell the paint was not oem...crazy because I didnt notice before that. Anyhow you dont NEED to do all 4, simply paint both on the side your repair is on...reason being they will never be compared to the other side. I think thats your safest and least expensive option.

That Hi Meta Bronze that Terrance posted looks really good. It draws some attention and gives it a nice look on any color F, especially on SFP.

When I got my car, all four wheels were curb rashed.....so I ordered touch up paint and touched up all 4 wheels myself... from a distance you can't notice, but only when you go really close up. The paint code is 1E3.

yep i did the same its because 1E3 isnt the real paint color, its just the closest one Lexus/Toyota is offering right now.

Might have to buy this touch up as a temporary solution until I can make up my mind on the route I'll pursue. Thanks for the help guys.
