I have just seen a picture of a wheel conversion kit for the SC, it replaces the tin lid on the original wheels and looks a lot better. I have also found some chrome TRD wheels which look great but I don't know if they ship to the UK.
I have pictures of both and I will try to put them on club gallery.

mike theres a company in gold that ships t the UK and is TRD parts supplier, contact them and see if he can get them

I have put pictures of my SC and wheel kit plus TRD wheels on club gallery pages 7 and 8

Thanks I have emailed them about new wheels.

Anybody know where you can source those Tin conversions mentioned at the start of this thread ?

why not contact the original poster

Hi Mike,

Do you have any idea about where we can purchase the Wheel conversion Kit?
Thanks!

Megan

well, i have an idea, i work for lexus, and actually the wheels conv, were just the caps, lexus is thinking about having different caps, maybe they will have it for the next model year, we had a sales meeting and voted to see which one lexus will use, there were 4 different styles.

Does anyone have an idea where I can buy the lexus wheel conversion kit in the UK?

Cheers.

Hi
My SC was the first to have the new trims in the uk and they look a million dollars compared with the old pie plates, sadly I cannot tell you where to get them in the UK yet.

Michael

So where did you get them from??????????

I noticed on another Lexus message board that someone had got a set of 4 for $160!!!!!!!!!!

I am trying to get a telephone number to maybe get a set over for me?????

Hi Robin

If any of you want to see pictures of the new SC wheel trims, I have two pictures of my car fitted with them on the club gallery page 8 just select the club gallery from drop downlist above and click on page 8.

Hope you like it

I've just bought four of the star style chrome centre caps to replace the boring round ones on my SC430. They were on Ebay, listed as LEXUS SC430 STAR CHROME CENTERCAPS - 2004 by OEMRIMS INC of ANAHEIM. CA 92806. They were $40 each plus shipping. The ebay listing said that they did not ship to the UK, and at first they ignored my emails. Then I emailed them again and said "Come on - we helped you out in Iraq" and they saw the funny side and agreed to send them by Fedex which was a whopping $130 !! but they arrived two days later. They put the value down as $50 so there was no VAT to pay on receipt.

They look fantastic - I'm really pleased. All I need to do now is to get some tyres with the largest possible sidewall buffers so that I don't bash the alloys every time I go anywhere near a kerb.

These kits are now available directly from the dealers !

Got a price on them?
Let me guess, either bloody expensive, just silly money, or plain extortionate?

Just seen these on e-bay

Cor, thats cheap! Could be a bargain for someone.
I paid £400 for mine + about £200 to ship from the states. And I though THAT was cheap!
