Default ordering Rx with 20" wheels...

Hello,
I was configuring 2018 RX350 AWD for my mother and it looks like the only way to get 20" wheels is to either get a luxury package that is about $4k or get the F-sport. Am I correct that standard wheels are 18"? On the sale sheet for 2018 Rx that I received from a local dealership, they list 20" wheels for $1170. This is not an option or package when building on Lexus.com. Please let me know if I am missing something.
Thanks

It is a stand-alone option, $1170. Most seem to have them in my market. My AWD non-F, non-Luxury has them. The configurator sometimes is inaccurate. Take a look at those on the lot.

Get the 20" wheels - the car is missing something with the 18s.

I specifically looked for an RX without 20" wheels as I've read that they hurt the ride of the car.

The only pain I feel is when I see one with the 18s. I took a 500 mile round trip this weekend and the highway cruise couldn't be better imo.

My 2016 RX350 has the 20" optional wheels and the ride is very good. The tires are 55 aspect ratio so have plenty of sidewall depth for cushioning.

These wheels were not part of a package but were a stand-alone option priced at $1170. The wheels in the Luxury package are a different design.
