There are many good options. IMO the best are Nokian R3 SUV, Blizzak DM-V2 and Yoko G075.

Can anyone help me with the bolt pattern on the 2020 rx350 rims. I’m looking to buy a set of rims and can’t find it.

edit: would 5x114.3 bolt pattern work for 2020?

You may want to post these questions in the RX forum. But you not only need to worry about bolt pattern, but offset and hub size as well.

With dedicated winter wheel/tires, can you get by with 4 to keep tpms off, or the system will look for the spare wheel as well?

Spare tire code has to be programmed in when snows are put on.

Unlike other parts of US....it has been such a mild fall here in PNW with what little snow around 6K+ feet. That all seems to change Sunday night here with snow levels going down to around 2K feet. Weekend project of swapping snows onto the GX w/TPMS reprogram as I will be heading over local pass on Thanksgiving.

Thanks for the reply. Safe travels brother!

These wheels were mint 2 winters ago. I keep them fairly clean and use poorboy wheel sealant but the road chemicals are proving too much.

Started with bubbles now peeling in places


These are my summer chrome wheels that don’t see winters, still mint from 2011. So in closing it’s well worth having a winter setup IMO. Steel wheels would be ideal but I got a good deal on the T4R limited hyper silver wheels.

From a distance winter wheels still look good but not sure for how much longer

Those look like 4th gen 4runner limited wheels; it's a known issue with that wheel. I also have a 4th gen limited and experienced a similar issue. I have one set, winter wheels, where the coating is mostly gone, and another set, summer wheels, which is still blemish free. The good thing is those wheels are cheap from the dealer. I haven't experienced the same issue with my gx wheels.

Yeah, They are T4R limited with a swapped L logo. I always like the finish on them hyper silver which is basically black wheels painted a translucent silver overlay. That being said I love my chrome wheels in the summer, just enough bling

I think there's a good chance the coating was damaged and corrosion started long before you started using these as winter only wheels, they may have looked fine when you started though. Being from a 4th gen 4R, they are at least 12 years old at this point.

The chrome wheels on my '04 GX470 had already been replaced due to peeling chrome when I purchased it used at about 9 years old/130K kms.

Agree ... I run "steelies" in the winter ... why be vain in the winter when nice wheels end up looking ghetto for the balance of the year as a result. Save some money and purchase a dedicated set of wheels and tires for the winter, and enjoy cosmetically preserved wheels for the balance of the year.

100%. I’ve checked and I don’t think Lexus made OEM chrome wheels for the GX so I’m assuming they were add ons at the dealership. I’m also not sure if mine are chrome plated or PVD (physical vapor deposition) because they are still mint.

Anyone have recommendations for snow chains for stock tires.
