Default THULE vs. OEM Roof Rack System

Hi All:

I am looking to buy a UX250H and since there is no tow hitch (mainly planned to use it for bike rack and ski carrier we own), dealer is offering to include a OEM Lexus roof racking system in the deal. As a complete newbie to roof racks, I am looking to find out if it is better to go with a Thule or if the OEM Lexus roof rack is just as good? I would like to have the least amount of wind noise as possible.

Pic attached shows the OEM roof rack and Thule carrier cargo box.


Lexus OEM Rack with Thule Cargo box.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks!

Thule is far superior to the OEM racks, personal experience.

As a former NX owner, I heard that Thule made the Lexus racks on the NX. Not sure about the UX, though.
