So after getting my butt used to the comfy, cushy Lex suspension, I decided I want Eibach lowering springs and in the future upgrade from 18 stock to 20's. NOT for the bling style but most OEM possible for better road handling.
So question is: who has nice OEM 20" rims that would work on 2nd gen RX? Only one that comes to mind is the Venza wheels but I don't know the bolt pattern...will it fit?
Anyone else put 20s on 2nd gen RX and still keep it looking clean and oem like?
Suggestions?

Thanks!

 

Venza wheels will work fine...I am actually in the market myself for a set...just hard to come by for a decent price.
If you watch ebay a lot, you can find a good deal...but they are hard to find.
Toyota?Lexus tends to stick to a common bolt pattern of 5x4.5 (5x114.3)

Personally I wouldn't lower it, but that is just me. I traded my tricked out lowered car for the RX...it was tough at first, but if you tell yourself its not a race car, nor not meant to take the corners at 60 then your good.

 

It's already lowered lol but reason is only the softness of the oem springs not really the rude height. I woul have kept the same height if I could choose stiffer suspension.
Also I found Ford Taurus wheels to fit. And Ford has some nice designs lately.

 

yeah if you stick to that bolt pattern you will find a ton of options..I liked the venza wheels because I can wear them year round (ohio winters blow) without having to change out chrome wheels back to the ugly 17" factories I have.

 

The M37 wheels look really nice to me

 

Yes very nice indeed and I especially love the pearl finish that looks like the Pebble Beach editions.
But heck they are pricey!

 

Ok so I just picked up the car from having the Eibach installed. So far car is not lowered one bit. Actually the rear is about 1" higher than before. And the overall feel is indeed a little firmer but not to worth the expense...

 

never gave a budget lol

 

suspension has to settle. give it another day.

 

Gotcha! I will give her a full weekend before a proper alignment.

 

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.

 

I never cared too much for aftermarket wheels but these look really nice!

 

Thanks! It's funny, when I tell most of my friends that I'm looking at 20" wheels for my RX (AWD), they picture big, cheesy chrome rims!

 

I like big wheels but don't like all chrome very much. Vossen and Lexani make some clean looking wheels.

 

Yeah, that is the problem I want a wheel that looks clean without being overwhelming
