Aftermarket Lexus Rx350 F sport clones. With the RSR drop looks just right. Put on Hankpok EVO ION AS tires. (OEM size for 20's that come on Sienna) technically designed for EVs and Hybrids. Shop recommended them so trying them out. Pretty good so far. No weight savings, but maybe in the future I'll go with some flow formed lightweight wheels.

2022 Toyota Sienna Limited AWD Hybrid Stock wheels have a Chrome Cap over Black aluminum.

I had one shop quote me $400 for Rhino black aluminum wheels and when I started looking more in depth at my wheels, I realize the chrome caps could come off. It took me using to pry bars and being careful not to scratch them. The pry bars that I used were 3 foot that I use for construction.

I have not been too concerned with removing industrial grade adhesive from the hubcaps due to my sienna been on the trails more often than not.
I plan on checking with a powder coating company on what temperatures would be safe to apply heat from a heat gun to remove it in the future.

Did you have any rubbing with the 235/65 tire size?

I went with the Enkei Phoenix 18x8 +35 on my 2023 XSE AWD (saved stock rims for winter/snow tires). A few notes:
  • Thanks to this thread, I installed longer wheel studs as I wouldn't have had much engagement.
  • It's easier than expected to set up the second set of TPMS sensors with the car, process is in the Owner's manual
  • Yes, these have GR Sport stickers in the center caps - it's a fun touch that I like better than the standard Enkei center cap. Got them from a website called X-Sticker.

I had the same problem with my XM6 wheels. I had asked if anyone else was having the same problem, but no responses, I assume it was just me. Ended up installing new ARP studs... Unfortunately, ARP studs are extra long, so I had cut them down.

I ordered Velox rims through Costco for my snow tires. They came with center bore adapters and lug nuts. The lug nuts did have the collar on them like the factory ones and the rims were drilled out with larger holes to accommodate them so you get the same thread engagement as the factory set-up. I am super happy with them. The rims I ordered for my summer tires do not have this and I am bummed that I did not order the Velox wheels first or I would have bought a second set of Velox.

On the stock wheels, are there any aftermarket option for spline style lug nuts? I have no preference between open or closed ended

Brain fart... ignore this....
My Velox wheels that I bought through Costco came with collared lug nuts. They are conical interface instead of flat like the OEM, but do have the collar to get more threads of engagement.

Is there a consensus on the best performance wheels in terms of weight savings?
If I'm going to upgrade wheels, figure I would go for lighter and high-quality tires.
Haven't really seen anything in the 20 inch range for weight savings. Looks like probably have to go down to 19inch wheels or maybe go to 235/55/20 vs 235/50/20?

Any updates to this brother? Did you find a light wheel?

I got the longer wheel studs installed on the front wheels, rear wheels will be later this week. As I mentioned in a previous post, I didn't like that the wheel nuts with my enkei wheels only engaged 10mm (I would guess most aftermarket wheels have this issue because they mostly use cone nuts and not factory style shank nuts, and most people don't know because they get installed by a shop!).

The only reputable studs I could find were the ARP 100-7715, as was mentioned by BenG. Unfortunately the stud length on the arp's is 65mm and they are too long. I found that 15mm needs to be taken off the arp's for a total stud length of 50mm (factory are 40mm). Being 50mm, they are short enough to be installed without removing the hub, and have 20mm of thread engagement now. I had my father machine them down on a lathe for me, for a better clean look. For installing the new studs, I used one of the factory lug nuts, with a shallow 1/2" drive socket as a spacer, to seat the new studs. On the front wheels, only the two caliper bracket bolts need removed, and the brake line-to-strut bolt. Fairly easy job, longest part was getting the hardware measurements and cutting to size.

Sorry to bring this post back, but i have a question about the longer wheel stud? Did you mention the over all total length is 50mm from the base to the tip of the stud? Not the stud threads? I just got the 50mm total length studs and is still seem short to me? I am going to install the new 21" lexus wheels, but stock studs not long enough and want to replace with a longer studs, i hope the one i got is long enough
