I will be going with these rims in a black gloss 21s. Vossen HF2
Going to order the rims this month. On a RX350
Not sure if this is on a 5th Gen RX350 but...
Looking at the Vossen HF2 WEB site info I don't see the Lexus 114.3 bolt pattern listed for any width standard 21 inch wheel.
Additionally, 9 inches is the smallest width. The standard size 21 inch tires don't recommend a wheel width greater than 8.5 inch.
I would ask a lot of questions when speaking to the salesperson when ordering to ensure an easy upgrade.
Interesting. I had no idea about this. Good to know. Thanks for the information! Changing wheels just got even more complicated.
Hey, don't give up, I'll buy some aftermarket wheels too for my Iridium 2024 Rx350h. There are some very knowledgeable people here who can help us buy something that fits! Congrats to @BlueLex350 and those who have pulled the trigger and upgraded their OEM wheels. I would like something lighter to help with weight/fuel efficiency/speed and a better design to my taste.
Well I purchased ONE ALY74338U45 Lexus RX350 2021-2022 wheel. It came in less than one day from Amazon. I took it to Discount Tire and they attempted to do a fitting. Unfortunately, because of the ball seats on the lug nuts that the 5th Generation is using, these DO NOT FIT.So, it's back to the drawing board.
After a bit more research, I found these two wheels that are a direct fit and both places I've seen these "guarantee fitment." The top one is the TSW Sprint and the bottom is the Petrol P5A.
The TSW's are $371 each while the Petrol's are $226 each.
What size are you looking to buy? Of those 2, I like the Petrols. For me I like the P2A in matte black 19”, which is the largest size. I think they would look good with Iridium.
I was told by the CWO salesman that hub centric ring adaptors weren't necessary even though the new rims hub diameter was larger than the Lexus 60.1mm. Being old school, I still bought and added the correct hub centric rings anyway.
The wheel offset is 38mm. They have no clearance issues and fill the wheel well nicely.
Did you have any issues with the lug bolts? When I took the 4th Gen RX350 wheel in to have it fitted, the installer said the holes lined up, but the lug bolts have a "ball" end that would not fit in the socket of the wheels I wanted to put on, so they recommended I not install them.
So this has been an odyssey to say the least!
1. I finally decided on the TSW Sprint. I like the concave form and the angled curves. HOWEVER, Discount Tire called me to say it was discontinued. They refunded my money.
2. So THEN, I talked to the same guy at Discount Tire - SUPER nice group of guys there - and I bought the Petrol P01. We ordered ONE, just to make sure it fit and with aftermarket lug bolts, it fit!
3. I then ordered the other three, and paid for all FOUR. As mentioned earlier, I was refunded for the discontinued TSW.
4. The Petrols came in and for some reason, the "payment" was marked as "balance due" - even though the transaction was posted to my bank. So, after going back and forth, I paid for them a SECOND time, this time WITHOUT the labor and was told I'd be refunded. It's only been 5 business days, so I'll give it a day or two more.
5. In the meantime, I HATED the Petrols! The spokes looked too skinny.
7. I went back the next day and after a few more days of agonizing, Discount Tire credited me towards the MSW Type 48, which I got today and like them MUCH BETTER than the stock and the Petrols.
Below are the three wheels I've been through in the last two weeks.

The Petrols did NOT allow for the Lexus center cap to be installed, but the MSW's DID. That was a bonus!!!
Also, I had the front windows & windshield tinted between the Petrols & the MSW Type 48's. MUCH better.
We bought a set of aftermarket wheels last year to go along with snow tires for our 350h. OEM wheels were 21" but downsized to 20" as there were significantly more options compared to 21".
It terms of ride quality and road noise it's surprisingly similar to the OEM tires. Perhaps even a little better.
Other wheels we were also considering were the Enkei SVX, Ruffino Teknik and Art Replica Replica 261.

So, it's back to the drawing board.
