New winter wheels and a new battery too

[Nick W858]

Got the new (refurbed) alloys on in time for the bad weather with the winter tyres fitted. Think these were from an old 220d but they look a lot better than the previous ones I was using from my old LS400 as you can see from the pics. The ride is even nicer on the 16s too. Also took the opportunity for a new 12v Battery, I left the last one untouched for too long during one of the lockdowns. My local Toyota dealer tested the Battery and advised it was showing as ‘change’ so I went ahead - £150 fitted - no idea if that’s good or not but hopefully no more issues with starting. Pics of wheels below.

The new wheels look great - they suit your car much better.

Thanks Mincey,  yes I agree, couldn’t look worse than the old LS alloys mind and not as smart as the regular 17 inch summer wheels which are smoky in colour. At least I don’t cringe every time I see the car like I did previously!

Wheels look much nicer than the original. Yes IS220D ones. Had same on my 2006 IS 220D which I scrapped as HG went. The wheels were in great condition and had 2 month old Avon ZV7's fitted, plus full sized spare as had bought another used matching alloy. Sold car for £350 on eBay.
