2021 UX250h Matte Black Wheels?
Hi all--
I'm supposed to take delivery of my new UX next week from an out-of-state dealer, but I'm a bit confused about something. The sticker lists a $1300 18" Matte Black Wheel Package, and when I run the VIN on the Lexus site, sure enough, it lists the same under Code L7 (see attached screenshot).
I'm confused because the only wheel option I see available on the website builder is the 18" Gloss Black Wheel Package, which would be Code L2, also for $1300.
Can anyone provide some insight here? I'm still waiting to hear back from the salesman, but he's as confused as I am.

What UX250h package did you order? There is a special edition UX250h, Black Line, that comes with a unique set of wheels.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't order it, it was on the lot. It's supposed to be a UX250h Base with Premium Package along with all the options you can see in the image I attached in my original post. It's not a Black Line, which would have this listed when I run the vin:
The only L2 wheels I see through a ton of searching are the 17" Trident wheels for a late model CT, which wouldn't make any sense. The sticker and the Lexus website clearly show it as "18" Matte Black Wheel Package" for $1300. Still waiting to hear back from the salesman.

It could be that the port has Matte black wheels in inventory.
It's the same way with chrome wheels. None of the Lexus comes with chrome wheels out of the factory. They are always port installed.

If it was port installed, it would be the factory wheels but in a matte black finished.

Are you saying it's the $1300 upgrades wheels, but with a matte finish instead of gloss? Because the only other wheels listed for $1300 are the L2 Gloss Black wheels.

Pretty much yea. From what I have seen while working at the dealer. That's what I have heard the port folks do. It's just a swapparoo. They'll take the gloss black wheels off, swap with the other finish and send the vehicle to the dealer. Then the port folks have the gloss black, send it out to a refinisher and have them refinish them, in this case, a matte finish. Port will never install an aftermarket rim.
I would just double check the dealer. I'm surprised that they couldn't get the images from the sender's dealer system.

Mystery solved, see actual car below. I can't tell if they're the same exact ones as in the second image below from Lexus build site, but they look darn close if not the same.
Thanks for all your insight, this was fun

No problem. I can't tell from the first image, but it looks like they painted over the machined finish. They are the same wheels.

I had the wheels on my Miata Powder Coated glossy black and I love them - that cost me $500 for all 4, so if you are getting the black for only $1,300, no extra charge for the black, then that is a good deal.

The wheels are a $1300 option, listed on the sticker. I didn't ask for them or anything, just came on the car I happened to end up with. I'm glad you like them, I'm still on the fence since I wasn't expecting either wheel and have never had all black wheels before.

I really like them - especially with the black car. This made me go out and look at mine - maybe I will have them powder coated - LOL.
