Your vehicle has the same paint colors as mine. For your future reference, if you ever need touch up paint, the primary color is called Silver Mist Metallic and is Lexus paint code 176. The bottom cladding color is called Light Grey Metallic and is Toyota color code UA30. Finding the Silver Mist code was easy, it's on the drivers door placard. I had a heck of a time trying to locate the color code of the cladding. I ended up calling Lexus and I must have stayed on the phone with them for close to an hour before they were able to supply me with the cladding color code. Anyway, here's mine with IS300 rims and Michelin Primacy MXV4 215/55R17 tires.

Those rims look great. I'm gonna get 18s of some sort. Def not chrome.

They mix it to order and in my case, it was an excellent match. Used it for some very minor nicks and scratches.
Depending on what you end up with on the 18" rim/tire combo, you may need spacers. With the 17" tires and wheels I put on, the tire came extremely close to the upper ball joint nut/cotter pin. Fit fine but I don't think I could have gone any wider on the tire without adding spacers. Rears are less of an issue. Plenty of experts on here to assist when it comes to wheel and tire combinations. I'm not one of them.

Local Autozone/Advance Auto stores don't carry our colors. You can order it here... http://Automotivetouchup.com

Well don't go try to get the SAME rims on your SAME coloured car...
I thought you were looking for a style guide...
If I knew you were looking to clone I would have kept my mouth shut...
I got my rims for $600ca and 6 tires (Avon Tech M550) for $100ca (kijiji). Tires are kinda loud. Make that really loud. I'd never buy them if they were full price. They're crap really.
Also, if you go for 18's or higher be prepared to spend another $600 at least to lower it. Just won't look right otherwise...
