Default Compare the look of the 2022 rx350 18" and 20 " inch wheels

Does anyone know where to find photos of rx350 18 " wheels vs 20" wheels. Seems like they have the same look but are just a bit smaller. The 20" wheels and the 18" wheels were considerable different in the 2016 Rx350

The 20 inch tires look much better.

they have a page where you can put the different wheels on the sample car to compare

Just scroll down that page to see exterior, interior and wheels

Yes, the 20" wheels and tires look much nicer.

An RX with 18" wheels is like a flat screen TV that delivers 480P resolution. Just something missing.

22s probably overkill. 20s look perfect but I'll also take the 70" oled😉

I agree with you 100%. The problem is thatmany of the cars do not have the 20" wheels except the F sport where these are standard.

In 2016 the 20" wheels had a totally different look than the 18" wheels. The 2022 18" wheels seem to have the same look except that they are not as large. I prefer the 20" wheels though.

My life is absolutely no better with a 2" difference in wheels on my car.

Just got my new RX F sport last week. With 20" wheels, same size as the wheels on my 2010 Toyota Venza. The Venza was ahead of it's class back then, but many folks did not buy one. I still like it, more of a "sport wagon" than an SUV.

I run both, as my OEM wheels are 20" "luxury" and my snows are on 18" I bought from TireRack. The Tirerack site allows you to "install" wheels of different diameters to our vehicle, and it is helpful in terms of the look.

The 20" wheels have much more bling, but most of the reason I don't like the OEM 18" is that the wheel designs are all (IMO) ugly. The diameter makes a difference for sure, but at 18" there's not too much rubber showing. And during the winter I really don't have to worry about curb rash given the 18". My .02.
