They look like bigger stock wheels and the photos show that they are flush with the front fender.

Not sure if you've seen this RX or not, the owner installed (5 spoke) TSW Vortex 20x8.5 +20 offset with 255/45/20 tires. TSW also makes these in "hyper silver".

Here's a newer RX on 20x8.5" CV3's all around. Can't go wrong with a clean, simple 5 spoke! I know it's not a 2nd gen, but it will at least give you an idea!
Check out this Lexus RX350 from WheelTec on Matte Black Machined CV3s in 20x8.5 Front & 20x8.5 Rear. This setup provides a simple clean look for this luxury SUV.

Ok so I found a super clean set of OEM FX35 20s that look like this one
$450 for the set I think its a no brainer!
What do you guys think?
Also, anyone using them already, is weight going to be an issue? I assume they're heavier than the stock 18s?
WHich size do you recomend? After playing with the Discount Tire size calculator, I concluded that 245/45/20 is the closest size to stock 18s without messing the speedometer too much.

That's a good price, but I prefer custom wheels, like the ones Vossen Wheels posted, over stock ones. You'd be hard pressed to notice those were any different from stockers on a casual glance. They do look clean and some people prefer the look of a more conservatively styled wheel.
Weight will be heavier with a larger wheel, but you'll probably see a difference of 1-2 mpg and .2 in 0-60. Not a huge deal.

I am also looking at putting 20" wheels on my RX400h. 22" wheels will fit, but I think they look too big for a vehicle that is based on a Camry.
I've been shopping for wheels for quite some time and so far, I like these 2 the best (Lexani R6 and XO Miami)
My future plans also include Eibach springs. I'm glad I read this post, as I had no idea that the suspension will need to settle after the springs are installed.

One of the things that attracts me to the machined face/black lip look is that I think it gives the illusion that the wheels are larger, as there isn't a defined "border" that shows where the lip ends and the tires start.
Either way, we all have one thing in common when it comes to wheels: making our vehicles look just a little different than the swarms of other RXs on the road. I swear, whenever my wife and I go to Costco, I really have to pay attention to where we parked, as there's going to be no less than 10 2nd Gen RXs in the parking lot!

I found two similar looking Range Rovers with two of the R-Six styles.
