  1.   Right basically if you kerb your wheels and need them fixing you have 4 options:1 - Visit Lexus, get them to paint the kerbed wheels. 99.9% chance they wont be able to match the exact colour. They will say something like "we will paint both wheels on one side to get them matching". Obviously there wont be a huge difference but itll be noticeable. This is because there is no specific colour code. 2 - Visit Lexus and get them to paint "ONLY" the kerbed wheels. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. Make sure they dont touch the other ones AT ALL! As I said before, 99.9% chance they will naff it up so to speak. On the day, complain to the manager and get him to replace all the wheels that THEY painted! 3 - Visit Lexus and get them to paint all 4 wheels in the same colour. Good option but slightly stupid if theres only 1 or 2 wheels which are kerbed. 4- Visit an independent specialist. They are better at finding a colour match BUT if they do a shoddy job, thats YOUR responsibility. The main problem I discovered when my Lexus dealer supposedly "fixed" on my brand new RX450h F Sport was that the wheels are a PITA. Now what happened to me was that one wheel was kerbed when taking my car off the trailer. They said theyll sort it in 2 days since the wheel needs to be baked. 2 days later, their workmanship is top notch. No kerb rash anymore and actual painting on the wheel was first class. No problems in that regard, or in any other regard to be honest BUT the colour of the wheel was different. They said "we cant match it as there isnt a specific colour code". I asked for a replacement and they were fine with that. Sorted in the end, took a month for the wheel to arrive though from Japan but I guess thats not their fault. Service has been very good. At Lexus, loyalty actually means something! Here is a pic of my wheel: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rs66hAhWeeI/UXxpTxqhR7I/AAAAAAAAAjg/nvwKtXjAFS4/w1050-h700-no/IMAG0283.jpg The wheels have been properly washed and dried. Tyres are still wet with dressing though. Hopefully, the pic shows the difference in colour between the front and back wheel. The back is the original, the front has been painted by LEXUS
  2. no specific colour code. The f sport wheels have two paints mixed together. Its practically impossible to get a match as well.
  3. Anyone know the wheel colour code for the F Sport wheel. Its proving to be damn hard to find and miraculously, one wheel is a different colour to the rest. How weird is that!
