2011 RX Luxury Package / Sport Package Question
Hello, first post here. Considering a 2011 RX350. I have a question about the luxury package and the sport package. I see that power folding mirrors are only available as part of the luxury package and that the chrome wheels are only part of the sport package. Is it possible to get both the luxury package and the sport package and if not any way to get the power folding exterior mirrors and the chrome wheels? Thanks!

Hope my answer will help you. I myself will be getting the luxury package this sat. More like picking the car up this sat. There is no way you can get both the luxury package and sport package as one. But if you want the chrome wheels with the folding mirrior I don't see why you can't put the chrome wheels over with the package that has folding mirriors. Try to negotiate it into your deal.

Anything is possible with $$$. You could get the Luxury package which would include the auto-folding mirrors, and order the "chrome" wheels normally supplied with the Sport package, separately. It won't be cheap though; if you're patient enough, you could wait until some of these show up on Ebay, and they will eventually...

I have the Luxury Package with the Chrome Rims. The dealer took them off another car and put them on mine for $1250. I also made sure I got the Michelins too.
The Chromes look sharp and I really do enjoy the power folding mirrors, especially in parking lots. It's also a good way of verifying the car is locked.
Good Luck.

must be nice I asked if the RX450h that I order did not come in with Michelins on it and if they had a 450 there at that time that did could they be put on my new car. I was told that they did not change wheels or tires out what ever it came with was they way it would go out. Thank that it sucks that you still can not order a car that is being made for you with the tires that you want it to have.

I have seen a wheel exchange set up on e-bay. They send you the Chrome Plated wheels and you send back your wheels. They include shipping both ways. You would have to have the tires and pressure sensors changed over, I personally would only trust Lexus to do the swap as they work with these all day. I have had some bad experiences at the tire shops.

Agreed Henry, mine did it - told them the car was not leaving their lot without them, and the papers had already been signed. They whined, tried to charge me for it, but I dug my heels in. A half-hour later, the job was done!
Yes, but that's for real chrome. The OP wants the graphite Sport wheels and they are painted!

I dont know what process they use to make the graphite finish, but at least on my 04 RX with this type of chrome, its this black metal underneath. I have really bad curb rash on one of my rims and after being scraped a few times, it reveals a black material.

No, I don't play soccer!
The superchrome rims are definitely darker so being painted black underneath makes sense like RXSF said. I liked the look on my 330 with the performance package, even more on the 450h with the sport package. It is definitely not your typical chrome finish.
