Default Are these factory rims?

Came across a nice UX on the road a few days ago. The attached picture is from my dashcam. Looks like it has a Hybrid and F-sport decal. Anyone know if those are factory rims? I haven't seen them before but they looked great.

Following up, looks like these are factory Lexus rims but not for the UX. They appear to be from the IS300 F-sport which also has 18" rims and apparently the same bolt pattern.

They almost remind me of Avant Garde M510 wheels

Does anybody know if 2015ish IS350 wheels would fit? bolt pattern seems to be the same. i bought 4 of these, all 8" wide for winter tires on my IS. I am thinking they will.

I also think the spare would work if ever needed. i may forget to put that in my car when I trade it in to the dealer.

it will fit. You’ll just need to run the appropriate tire setup.

was the is350 rwd or awd? You don’t want to run staggered setup IMHO.

Thanks. I think they will fit too. It is an AWD and the stock black wheels are staggered. I bought these "prop 5" lexus wheels specifically to run all weathers or snow tires, so I bought 4 fronts which are the 8" wide. These were not a very popular wheel, so at one point in time they were like $65 through lexuspartsnow.

It also turns out the tire size i bought is pretty close, just a little lower profile 225/45/18. I may keep these and sell the IS with the black wheels that have some clear coat issues.

thanks again.

These are more like teaser pics. I just swapped 1 wheel as a test. That 1" ish lower profile/height tire sure looks extra small. its got a lowrider vibe. These would be winter wheels only, so not sure it will matter, they'll be full of black slush for 3 months. They fit perfect and clear the brakes by a mile. Now I want to paint my calipers. they are ugly.

Now, the UX wheels on the IS, now that looks good!!!
