Default Wiper blades replacement - OEM or Aftermarket?

Hello,

Just noticed that my OEM wipers started wearing out and don’t clean windshield as good anymore.
I was thinking to get another OEM pair (as it’s about 40$ from my local dealership) but maybe you guys have some good recommendations and experience with aftermarket brands?

Car: 2022 IS350 F-Sport AWD

Thanks in advance for opinions!

keep the oem wiper blades, just buy the replacement inserts for dirt cheap. They original wipers are extremely good quality.

I actually was positively surprised that they lasted me so long, especially in NJ when we had so much rain etc - I bought car in Feb 2022, they started wearing out this month June 2024.

Just to make sure i’m ordering correct inserts:
- RIGHT: https://parts.prestigelexus.com/p/Le...52140E130.html
- LEFT: https://parts.prestigelexus.com/p/Le...521406140.html

They are indeed very cheap!

There you go, those appear to be the correct parts.
