I have the 18" stock wheels on my RX and think they look great and work well as all-purpose wheels for daily city driving. I suppose the 19" inch option is still fine, but see little purpose in going any larger than this.

I currently have 19in alloys on my 2010 RX350. I ordered the 19in brushed nickel chrome wheels at the time I ordered my RX in March. They told me my wheels should be in this week. I will post pics when the wheels are on. My exterior/interior color is Starfire Pearl/parchment.

Awesome! thanks. Do you mean the "superchrome" wheels?

I'm debating getting those. I may just go aftermarket since $660 per wheel plus install seems a bit steep when I could get chrome 20's for less. what you all think?

juliee, I don't have a bias against the woman... but it's quite surprised to see you've ordered the special brushed nickel chrome wheels. I'd love to see pics. Thanks.

Hi Guys,

Yes there are the "super chrome wheels". My teenage son told me about them, and when we were at the auto show, they had an RX with the brush nickel chrome wheels. Needlessly to say, I had to have them! The price is steep but maybe its been my bad luck. With chrome wheels on previous lexus cars I have owned, I had to have on 3 different occassions replace the chrome wheel (no fault of my own). Lexus never questioned it and replaced immediately with a new one. On 2 occassions, I had the car for over 3 years.

I will post pics once they are on!!
