I ended up ordering the 18inch Replika R224 today for my NX Fsport as I wanted something direct fit for my Winter set up...Ill post pics sometime in November when I slap them on.
Hopefully the center caps can be replaced with the lexus oem caps for a better look
If you don't mind me asking, where are you based on ON and who did you ordered it from?
Got these over the weekend and these are how the rims look like in real life....Much nicer then expected! The oem 62mm center caps also fit this nicely. Cant wait to put these on next in November! will update with photos whe
n on the car.

I just got my new 2020 NX300,and I still have an old set of winter tires with steel rims that I used in my old RX350. Since those winter tires just used for two season, I would like to use them in my 2020 NX300. Anyone know will the RX350 rim lug position fit the NX300?

I would first determine what are the specs for your 2020 nx300, e.g. in terms of bold pattern, offset and Centre Bore. Then, look up your model year RX350 to see if the wheels/rims have the same specs.

Finally put them on this weekend and here's how they look like.....so far so good but im experiencing some rather unusually road noise from what I think its coming from the Toyo Observe GSi 5 tires I purchased.
When driving im hearing kind of like high pitch whinny sound which seems more loud when coming to a stop....almost feels like there is some friction so im not sure if its the rims or a combination of both tires and rims. I put the rims on myself and everything was torqued to 76ft lbs twice so I know there on there tight.
From what I hear these tires could be a little loud but Ive never had these noise on my q50 sedan with michelin x ice 3? Just want to make sure it indeed is the tires and not these new rims I put on which are replika oem rims and are direct fit.
No issue with 17" wheel with FSport brake clearance

I now have 17" wheels installed, paired with Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 (newly introduced this winter) and feel lucky that there are no issues with clearance, or noise. I think clearance issue relates to the offset of the wheel, if it is not within the specified range, e.g. 25-38mm. The selected C-wheels TY-1 OE Inspired has 38mm offset, right at the max end. I chose them as they are affiliated with Costco, can be returned relatively easier if not matched (I think, did not need to verify). And I wanted to have 1 stop shop and installation for conveniences and best value (installation & balance $20 each, whereas a dealer quoted $150 for all 4, additional taxes adding up...) Attached are some pics for the fun of it
Driving today with some small ice pellets rain, the combo of C-wheels TY-1 OE Inspired and Bridgestone winter tires has been (touch wood) quite pleasant with its smoothness with no apparent road noise, just like summer tires, as I can't tell the difference! A Sunday drive is more than 40 km so I just dropped by Costco to have the wheels re-torqued at 76 ft-ft, as recommended.
All my previous winter tires (cars and SUV) were mounted with stock or OEM steel wheels, and as soon as I drove them, with or without snow, there is always a component of white noise, not quite as loud as that similar to a wheel bearing problem or an airplane flying overhead , not that loudness but of the same nature of white noise. No such noise with this combo! I am very pleased!
Note that I still wait for the hub caps (I think they are Lexus knock-offs, 62mm OD, 60mm ID, as I measure the supplied C-wheel hub caps with a caliper before ordering online), so I asked the tire installers not to install the supplied hub caps, but my makeshift black rubber covers
- Edited: hub caps received and installed, perfect fit and look!
