We're about to replace wife's old GX for a new Premium+. Problem is she doesn't like the rims that come with that model. (She hates the silver and black combo; would rather have all black.) Lexus is proving to be a pain on this saying that different rims would require different tires so swapping them out would be $7-9K.

My question is what options do I have? I'd like to stay with a genuine Lexus wheel. They also said they could powder-coat the wheel to make it all black (for $3k). Is that a good idea? TIA

Wife also doesn't the Premium wheels either so if we eventually get one I'll be scouring FB Marketplace for Luxury wheel, but they're also silver & black.

Older GX460s, Tacomas, and 4Runners have the same bolt pattern so I'd look at those wheels, especially the TRDs.



Edit: We had rims repaired with some type of plasti-dip years ago and after she kissed a few curbs they looked like shlt with the plastic peeling off. I'd avoid that.

4WHP or Discount Tire for some wheels and tires will cost you a fraction. Also, $3k for powder coating is straight highway robbery.

Does she like what's on her current GX? Swap 'em if trading in.

You can get them powder coated for about $600. $3k is plain stupid.

Find a reputable powder coating place on Facebook that is local to you. Can't imagine it would cost more than $500-600 for four wheels to be powder coated according to your desires.

$3k for powder coating, jesus christ. dealerships have absolutely no shame about ripping people off.

My wife wouldn't even notice what the rims look like.

Agree on third party powder coating.

Powdercoating is good option, but black wheels aren't the way to go

My wife just got a Luxury and she is swapping the wheels so we will have the factory take offs. We are in Midland though.
