Default 20 inch wheel on base model

The base model comes with 18 inch wheel. in Canada in order to get 20 inch you have to pick luxury package which costs you $7600 +tax. below is image of what you get. I don't care about rest of stuff (dont think worth that price)

Did anyone got base model with 20 inch wheel? if yes how much you paid extra?

I bought Luxury for the real leather, the LED headlights, the navigation, but not for the wheels. Having seen the base model wheels, I am happy that I don't have them.

If only the wheels interest you, then you can buy third party.

EDIT: Oh and by the way, the cornering LEDs, very nice feature!!! We can see the pedestrians or cyclists!

I looked at the base & Luxury packageI and found the latter to have better value than the basic though more expensive, so went with it. But the 18" wheels will give better protection against pot-holes & other road hazards.

This is why I chose 18" for my winter tires!

Agreed. Love it when the corner leds turn on as it really increases visibility on the side

Here in the US, I got the base model and the 20" wheels are an option of its own.

20" wheels is a standalone option in the US, $1170 per Lexus US website, under the build section.

Unfortunately it is not available as standalone option in Canada.

In Canada, the base 450h is equipped the same as 350 luxury.

If you must, I assume you can work with the dealership to order you a set when you purchase the vehicle.

Though you may have to pay a lot higher because it's not officially a stand alone option. Probably worth getting the luxury package.
Wheels+ tires+ sensors probably costs about $3k CDN.

Americans only pay $1,170 to add the 20s.
So many are standalone options for American RXs. Canadians only get them in packages and far less interior color options.
Oh well, that's what we get for having 10 times less populations even though the car is built here.
