Does anyone know if they make 19" or 20" versions of the stock rims?

yes. The Lexus RX came with a set of very similiar looking rims, but I am fairly certain at least the offset is wrong.

They ARE nice stock wheels. Maybe the only negative
that I can think of is that they are like all the other
stock wheels of that make and model. The only reason
I would change MINE would be just to add a touch of
invidualism to MY car, but I would do that only if it were
affordable and/or necessary. At the moment, it is neither.
By the way, they look good on YOUR car, NightRider. Jimmm

I need to find custom rims that are in the same frost grey color the stockies are. Although chrome is nice I just can't see myself driving to work with chrome rims and then being taken seriously by customers and suppliers I take to lunch. (Kinda like wearing white Chuck Taylors with a grey striped Armani suit and 1000 miles from the nearest golf course to lie about your reason of wearing them.) BBS-like, thin spindled type rims in the stock color from Tirerack.com are not my thing (not want). And colored rims are out of the question (double not want!). I want to have some semblence to stock while not actually being stock.

Thanks for the comment(s) jimmm. I think it would be a nice touch to paint them like a black color or maybe bronze.

The closest that I've found are the same size as my OEM rims:

Similar with a little more aggresive lip...SICK! Chrome or Silver...you pick. I dont think the chrome would be too flashy on this style of wheel. They come in 19x8 or 20x8.5.
