Hi,

I have just purchased an SC430 and currently have the 'Pie' shaped wheels.

I am looking to change this with the Wheel Conversion Kit (really, they are just bolts and plastic wheel trims, but Lexus being Lexus!!!)

Cash waiting.

Kind Regards,

Mike.

P.S Be interesting to see who prefers the pie wheels or the 5 spoke conversion, or even the newer wheels?

Hi Mike,
Not sure if you are changing the plasic dishes only or the wheels.
If you are changing the wheels then ask yourself what is my plan for the sensors
You have to take care when taking them off as 9-10 times the sensor brake, each sensor is £106 plus fitting so over £400 for sensors plus fitting.
I can give you a run down as to how to turn the sensor and buzzer off, if you need help let me know as i have done mine.
Check my threads inicol63 as well as this may help good luck.

Done it!

Converted the wheels from Pie shape to 5 spoke. The conversion kit arrived on Friday.

In reality, it is just 40 bolts (10 per wheel) and 4 x plastic trims, but Lexus being Lexus call it a 'Wheel Conversion Kit'

List price of part with Lexus is £396 inc vat.

Managed to get a set for £199 inc vat & delivery......

The Garage also has another set which they have sitting on shelves, so if anyone else want's to change SC430 standard pie shape weels, PM me & I'll let you know where to get them...

Mike.

I'm interested. Sending a PM.

Any before and after pics?

Thanks again to Mike. My wheel centres arrived on Wednesday, as arranged. About 2 hours to remove the old ones, use my old Mercedes touch-up paint on some kerb-rash, and fit the new ones. Very pleased, they definitely bring the look of the car more up-to-date.
