Automobile Rims

For example: If a driver was to replace his 17x7.5 rims on his Lexus with 18x8 for all four wheels would there be an advantage?

advantage? not sure you will gain in one way and loose in the other
or gain the other way and loose in the opposite.
let me try to explain.
changing the height of rear tire changes the gear ratio between the motors revolutions per minute and the wheels revolutions per minute.

smaller tires will produce quicker spinnig in only the beginning but will spin less in the end
biger tires will spin slower in the beginning and spin more in the end.

in your mind put a wheelbarrrow tire on the driveway and put a car tire next to it, draw a chaulk line on each sidewall, now turn the smaller tire once around and stop it. now turn the car tire once around and stop it, which one goes further, the car tire because it is taller and more circumferance but it is easier to spin the smaller tire from a standstill because it is smaller.

your fuel mileage will change but so small it will be unnoticable. the pick up will be unnoticable

They are measured in several ways. First you have the diameter of the rim, then you have the thickness or width of the rim. So you could have a 20" x 8" rim. That would have a diameter of 20" and a width of 8"

Also take into consideration the offset of the rim. This is how far the center section is away from the center of the rim. That will be measured as either plus or negative in inches, and finally the lug pattern of the rim. Whether it is for a Ford or Chevy or whatever.

good luck

silver
gold
or chromium

Chromium, chrome plated.

I do not think anyone would use gold or silver, and they are not strong.
