Default '17 RX350 F-Sport Powder Coated Gloss Black Stock 20" Rims

Bought this L/Certified 2 weeks ago. Was back and forth on either Satin Black or Gloss Black powder coating rims, but finally decided on Gloss Black. What you guys think?

I'm personally not a fan of black rims - they become camouflaged but that's just my personal opinion. All that matter is what you think. Love the white RX.

I like the gloss black. I had the same dilemma, trying to decide gloss black or not. Looks very good IMHO. How much did you pay and how did you get it done? If you dont mind me asking.

So I have been wanting to get my rims powder coated gloss black as well. Believe it's $400 for sanding and powder coating for all 4 rims. Great to see how it looks, I have the same exact car, so thank you for the visualization!

I paid $600. Had a place in Northern New Jersey near Metlife Stadium do it. Place is called Silverstar Alloy Wheel Repair. They had 4.9 stars on google reviews. They do wheel repair, refinish, powder coat, etc. Dropped it off late afternoon, was done next morning. Fast turnaround and great customer service. I highly recommend them.

No problem! Hope you get it done, I love the look of White with Black Wheels. I think $400 is a phenomenal price.

congrats on the ride! I think they look great with a bit of shine to it - thanks for sharing! I would strongly consider too if I had my f sport in white. Mine is in blk and won't give it the nice contrast.

Thanks! I think blk/blk would look great as well, Maybe you should consider! I love being part of the Lexus family. This is my 5th Lexus so I try to stay loyal. I love these vehicles, just wished it had carplay!

My old dealership used Silverstar Alloy Wheel Repair to repair the bent rims on my vehicle before. They did not do such a good job, had to come back two or three times.

The rims look great. You can have Carplay as well. I installed in my 2017 F-Sport and you can purchase here. I can send you a good link on how to install as well if interested.

Here is the best video to follow to install. Ignore removing the glove box as there is plenty of room behind the stereo for the unit. Good luck!

Wheels look great! I have black wheels as well but i like the black and white look. I'm still deciding if I want to coat my wheels on my GS or trade the car in.
