Default Hyper-silver wheels w 265/285 tires

****NOTE: Not for everyone since style is a personal choice for all of us.

265/285-19s (upsize or +1)….took my track tires to be worked on and decided to have the OEM wheels treated to a Hyper Silver coating. So tired of that whole ‘dark wheels’ trend—yawn…
Liked it so much that I mounted my street tires to see how re-done OEMs would look for a daily driver.
I like it…some will say “Meh…”
I will be rolling like this as the SCCA Pace Car for upcoming race season.

They look nice. I really like silver wheels. They have kind of similar design to the wheels on the GSF.

Looks good!

I believe the 2021s now have these wheels standard on non-premium packages and they are silver-ish. Then you have the premium package which hand polishes them then when you go to the carbon trim you get black GSF wheels. Sad too because I thought the polished GSF wheels were/are one of the nicest wheels Lexus has put out. And then all that depth and coolness is lost when they are solid black.

Totally agree with you though, I so over the dark wheel trend, it's cool here and there but now it's everywhere and what used to be a focal point for wheels is now just a black object (which always makes the tires look more dirty because the tires are never as black as the wheels...lol).

Looks great! What brand & model of tire are you using on the wheels?

My 2021 with carbon package has gray wheels with polished tops like the middle photo above. Doesn't show brake dust much which I like.
