Lexus RX 'Ruby Red Rims' Sits On Gigantic Wheels Developed By A Fashion Designer

Taking cue from Dorothy's iconic ruby red shoes from "The Wizard of Oz," fashion designer Harris Reed produced a pair of "Ruby Red Rims" for the all-new Lexus RX. The wheels of the Lexus RX "Ruby Red Rims" concept have solid aluminum backs with LED-illuminated gloss-sealed glitter.

The center caps are designed to resemble a ruby's core, and a number of helical-shaped fins spread the changing color light. Harris Reed suggests that Dorothy's ruby red shoes in the classic novel represent the freedom to choose one's path and go on exciting new adventures down the "red brick road."

In addition to its new wheels, the Lexus RX SUV was given a special livery that included a red front and a black rear, as well as "Ruby Red Rims" inscription on the doors. Aside from making its premiere at W Magazine's 50th-anniversary celebration in New York City, the one-of-a-kind Lexus RX with "Ruby Red Rims" will be seen across the United States in 2022 and 2023.
