We bought some new wheels to go along with the snow tires. Downsized to 20" as there were significantly more options compared to 21". The wheels took 2 weeks to arrive and the tires took 4 weeks.
It terms of ride quality and road noise it's surprisingly similar to the OEM tires. Perhaps even a little better. We haven't had a dump of snow yet so I can't comment on the performance.
For wheels we were also considering the Enkei SVX, Ruffino Teknik and Art Replica Replica 261.
I went with :
Kraze KR194 wheels in 20"x8.5" with a 5x4.5" (114.3mm) bolt pattern and a +38mm offset.
I added hub centering rings with the correct 60.1mm Lexus hub diameter.
The Lexus lug bolts don't have the needed taper for the new wheels so tuner M14 x 1.5 lug bolts with a 60 degree cone taper were included with the wheels.
The tires are Goodyear Winter Command Ultra's in 235/55R20 rated 102H.
The TPMS sensors are generic aftermarket XTraSeal Smart Sensors.
Everything was ordered, programmed, mounted, balanced and shipped FedEx from a company called CWO ( Custom Wheel Outlet ) ( no connection/interest in this company )..
The dealer quoted me more for four 21" snow tires on my wheels and I'd have to pay for a twice a year change over...
I'm very satisfied with the purchase. The wheels look almost Lexus with the color and center cap style. I've run Goodyear Winter Command on previous cars with good results.
Would love to see some pics of your setup. I have a black on black with black wheels rx500h and would love some motivation.
Thanks
I got the Lexus Canada 19" winter accessory wheels with Michelin x ice snow.
Was good this last winter. Wheels are kind of ugly to my eyes though. But no problem in our salt covered roads since it's fully painted hence might take few years before paint starts flaking.
Just took delivery of a 2024 RX500F Sport. Even though it's still summer, I was planning to start shopping for a second set of wheels for winter tires. The service advisor told my sales guy that the "only wheels that will fit that are newer style (2022-24) F sport wheels".
Is the dealer right? When I checked wheel configurators online (like wheel-size.com), it appears that the 2024 RX500F Sport uses the same bolt pattern (5x114.3) and center bore (60.1mm) as all other previous RX vehicles, albeit the newest version uses lug bolts rather than nuts.
I do get that I would still have to ensure the offset and diameter would clear the brakes and suspension, but has anyone fitted an older set of RX wheels to a 2023/24 F sport? The service advisor said the bolt pattern was actually different from previous generations.
