Do any of these aftermarket wheels serve any other purpose besides aesthetics? I know there are OEM noise reduction wheels, but besides those, are there any other ones to look out for a functional benefit?

All else being equal, the distribution of mass is the distinguishing characteristic in determining which wheel requires more energy (and time) to accelerate to a given rpm and requires more energy dissipation (and time) to decelerate to a lower or 0 rpm. For first order analysis, a wheel's calculated moment of inertial is the figure to look at evaluating distribution of mass differences between wheel designs.

If you get down into the technical weeds, a wheel's mass and distribution of mass affects acceleration, deceleration, and thus indirectly energy consumption and brake performance. (Think of a flywheel; the heavier it is and the larger in diameter it is the more effort/energy it takes to get it spinning to a certain rpm and the more effort/energy it takes to get a spinning one stopped.)

These are some “make me feel horny” rims.

If you were going to go to a 20x9 rim and did not plan on lowering the car what size tire would you run? I was thinking a 255.35.20 which would be .6 inches taller and .7 inches wider. It’s either that or the 245.35.20 which is .4 inches taller and .3 inches wider than the stock 235.40.19 On the F sport.

We're thinking about getting some new wheels for our 2022 ES350 Ultra Luxury and plan on staying with the 18" size because I think that our car rides pretty roughly as it is now and going a plus or plus two size would just make it worse. I'm not a fan of the stock wheels and was wondering if you Guys/Gals could help me in the offset department. I believe that the OEM wheels have a +45 offset but not 100% sure and know that as width goes up, the offset changes.
The wheels that I'm looking at are 18" x 9.5" and have a +35 mm offset. Do you know what the hub bore size is on our cars too because these wheels have a 73.1 mm bore size and I was wondering if I'd need bore rings or spacers for them or if they'd fit right out of the box.
I plan on calling/e-mailing the manufacturer before buying them but thought that I'd ask here first because You Folk's probably forgot more about Lexus stuff than I know and it's just better to go into it informed, so that I know that I'm getting the right wheel setup.
Thanks in advance!
