OEM mag got trashed
Wifey did a number on the DS front OEM mag on the RX.
I believe the OEM rim is clear coated, and the contact with the curb left several good scratches, gouges, and yellow paint. I tried a wet rag (water) to see if any paint, etc., would come off, and had no effect, which didn't surprise me at all.
Any options other than replacing the rim, used would be fine if it's true, and not damaged from an accident. LOL

Not sure what rim you have. Some rims are easier to find (used) than others. I find the cost of a used rim, and the unknown of it's history are not worth it.
When I was looking for an F sport 20" the used parts places wanted $400 +. Dealer wanted $515 for an new OEM Lexus wheel.
You might find the one you are looking for locally on various local "for sale" sites. Again when I looked most were already trashed. The perfect ones were the same price as Lexus.
There are replica rims that are very close in look. I have no knowledge if they are good or not. I know the replica for my vehicle, the center caps do not fit very well. For me that was a pass.
You can always get it fixed if it's not too damaged for $100-200
Good luck!
Cheers
