Default Thoughts on these aftermarket wheels?

Looking to upgrade my OEM 20" wheels on our 2016 rx350. Found some below on ebay that look like the f sport oem wheels. Thoughts from anyone on this? Seller looks like he has positive reviews. Also, what tire size should i buy for 20 x 8?

Even at over $800 I still worry about quality.

You can buy brand new, (Lexus RX350 F sport wheels 20x8) NOT refinished wheels for less than $400 each, from Lexus...and that's Canadian prices. I don't know if the person is asking $820 each or for a set of 4 and suspect these are re-finished wheels or aftermarket type.

Well, the information is really lacking on them. No specs on what type of wheel it is/how it's made. No brand so you can check the website and if there's quality issues, no manufacturer. They are RX F-Sport style, not OEM. They look just like mine, but who knows who made them, how they're made and what they are made of. You could hit one pot hole and split the thing. Too little information. I'd look for OEM if that's the look you want.

I prefer the OEM 20". Just my opinion.

The replicas do look pretty identical to factory. If at all possible, I would suggest OEM as well.

If you feel confident that the quality of the wheel will withstand harsh roads/conditions, and will hold air adequately then by all means give a shot.

Try it, if it fails hopefully not a big loss? Live and learn. I'd go for 22" replicas if they existed.

There is no way I would trust my life to wheels manufactured with questionable specs, even if they looked good.

How much is you life worth?
