After doing some thinking on this, we want to go with the 21" 20-spoke alloy with Dark Gray Metallic and machined finish rim. Looks like it is optional on the 350h Premium+. Does anyone have a part number for these rims? The dealers I've checked with weren't sure as their parts page is in black & white, can you believe that?! Don't want to order 4 rims and they end of being the wrong ones!

 

These are the wheels I have on my Prem + They do not list a part # on the car sticker (Monroney label) or on the dealer quote of options. The catalog and website just lists as:

21-IN 20-SPOKE ALLOY WHEELS WITH DARK GRAY METALLIC AND MACHINED FINISH

$1,640

The parts dept should be able to provide that # as that is the only wheel with that specific name. If it comes in wrong, that's on them. It's not your job to do their work.

 

I ended up asking a different dealer to pull up the VIN on a Prem+ and provide the part number for the rims. I then tried to order them locally and they were out of stock for who knows how long. I shopped around and found several online dealers that were able to get the rims and ship them to me.

 

Hi everyone,

I’m seeking recommendations for RX500H rim/wheel options. Specifically, I’m interested in smaller wheel sizes, preferably 19 or 20 inches. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

 

Despite all bad press all common thinking of harsh rides with 21inch, I can say on RX it isn't to bad really at all. I can tell you I had loaner with baby wheels and could not tell difference at all other then looks.
It could be because of AVS on F sport it feels comfortable because it adapting at all times. never drove it on regular RX the 21 so may be rough without AVS, but 500H or any F with AVS your be fine.

 

Yeah, the 21” wheels still have a lot of sidewall. They are not rubber bands.

 

If you are going to go with a 20" wheel, 255/50 or 265/50 are the optimal tire sizes. They will put you right around the same diameter as the OEM 235/50/21 (30.1" vs 30.4"). There is a much wider range for tires/pricing.
