Wink Lexus UX Aftermarket Wheel Thread

When some of us just want to spice things up a bit in the looks department, there is nothing easier than getting a new set of wheels and tires.

I'll kick it off with my set below. Post your pics and specs!


Mille Miglia M1007 Anthracite (I painted them darker; original lighter color seen in the "weight" pic below)
20x8.5 +40 5x114.3
Hercules Tires - Imove Gen 2 - P245/40R20
Combined weight 56.5lbs (1.5 lb drop from OEM)

Budget tire, budget performance. Decent dry grip, a bit noisy, but wet grip is terrible. Overall, decent value but if you drive often in wet highway conditions, avoid these tires.

I like the look. When you say you painted them darker, what did you use that you feel confident will be durable enough?

Here you.

Light sanded first, then applied 2-3 coats of Dupli-Color paint. If I recall I needed 3 cans for all four rims. No noticeable chips though from past experience, I'm expecting 1-2 per rim over time.

Totally off topic but OP I find it funny that your TireRack (assuming that's what you are using??) offers the wheel/tire fitment guide on the site, here in the US as of when I checked about a month ago, still said it was not offered to determine fitment.

I did the research myself, I work in the tire industry.
