Default Rims identification

Just purchased a 2013 RX 350 and trying to figure out if the rims are after market or original? Can anyone help me?

There should be writing on the inside of the wheel. Try examing one with a flashlight, or take it off and look. What size tires are on it?

Compare them to the photos on this link

Thank you for the reply. They're 18" x 7.5". Looking through the link you sent I'm fairly certain they are these wheels but in black. https://www.wheelcollision.com/store...350-RX450H.htm I'm assuming those aren't original wheels? Thank you for the help by the way!!!

ETA: Better image of the wheels.

Those are the original wheels just painted/ plasti-dipped in black.

Thank you for the reply. Do you know if that black color is something that Lexus offered or was that done after the car was purchased? I know Lexus has the black line edition that looks very similar to my car with the black wheels and black side mirrors. Just trying to figure out if my car came like this from the dealer or not.

I don't think they offered that in 2013 and probably only on the 19 inch wheels.
I am pretty sure those wheels were painted/plastic dipped after purchase. It does not matter. They look like the person did an excellent job.
