Rayaans, thanks for the pics. I trust in person the difference is noticeable and valid. Unfortunately for me, not to challenge the closeup picture, but if one safely assumes the tires are consistent in person, the front right pic has a "greyish/green" tire while the rear right is black. The top pic seems more valid and seems to show a darker less shiny front right wheel though. Btw, I washed mine this weekend and I looked at my four wheels and all four consistently "superchrome dark gray" all around. If you get a chance after a nice wash, take pics again and base line it against the tire so you know any differences with the wheel finish is not due to different picture hues. 
Before - The normal side followed by the side with different coloured wheels:
During - Sprayed on and agitated with a wheel brush:
After - The normal side with same coloured wheels followed by the side with different coloured wheels:
As you can see, the front wheel on the right side is definitely darker than the rear wheel as well as the wheels on the other side of the car. Please do let me know if this cannot be seen. I will post better pictures tomorrow in full lighting so the difference can be seen more clearly.

No, I don't play soccer!
Number 2. The vent in the wheel well gives it away but obviously it's a different color than the rest. Please keep us posted when you bring in your RX for service.

Still got like 200 miles left! I feel like driving more just so I can get the service done seen as though the dealer is 30 miles away!
