I installed a set of powdercoated black RC-F wheels (Forged BBS 19x9 & 19x10 with 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 Michelin PS4S). The rears sit better than I anticipated but the fronts need some spacing, I have a 15mm H&R set on the way. Tire clearance was very tight on the front, at the inner wishbone so I added a 3mm spacers in the meantime to avoid contact from sidewall flex.
I'm thinking its a lot of black and a silverish ring around the wheel like AMG or Porsche may help to cut it up. Im not thinking anything permanent, maybe some pinstripe decal or a removable paint, any ideas or should I keep it all black?
They kinda look like peasodos' wheels from a distance in the same color.
They do! He has the ES wheels and over the past few months I've seen a few sets on the road that reminded me of these RC-F wheels and gradually pushed me to get these.
I had bought a set a few months ago but the seller on Ebay never shipped them. I bought the silver F-Sport forged wheels but I've still wanted a nice 10" wide wheel out back and the RC-F ones fit the need. I didn't intend to go with black on black but its growing on me.

I thought the RCF had a diffrent bolt patten? I guess not. lol! Those are nice.
I just used the latest version of your app on my '14, but it seems that there is no "Tilt/open" differentiation for the sunroof if I open the windows with my remote. Is this an option for other years though? The Lexus personalization settings (option #28 with Nav) shows it as an option.

Nice!!! I was wondering what happened to the F Sport Forged you just got..But these do look nice and the 10" rears fit nice and flush, I wish mine came in a 10" but although they are 9.5 the offset puts them right where I want to be.

Thanks! They fit better than I expected in the rear! The F Sport wheels are on their way to another CL member, I will miss those.
I used a paint marker to test a silver ring around the outside to break up all of the black. It came out much better than expected, looks just like machined aluminum even though its acrylic paint that will likely wear off quickly. I'm thinking to keep it and fab up a compass to pinstripe a more permanent line. Thoughts?

Looks good..does break up all the black, like you said almost like a machined aluminum finish lip. What type of paint to you plan to use to make it more permanent

Thanks, I was thinking the liquid platinum-like touchup paint I have on hand for my wife's NX, mixed with some clear. All of that can still be removed with alcohol but at least it should last through cleanings.
