Warranty Question

[sami_remote]

I am looking to replace my existing wheels with some sexier ones I found of the same size 18 inch, fitting same size tyres 235/55/18.

I just wanted to know if this has any effect on my warranty as I am getting the wheels from a non-Lexus dealer.

Thanks,

Sami

Errrrm......Am I following this right?

You expext Lexus to warranty some third party wheels?

Have you been deemed insane, or are you just taking the pi$$?

No sorry I was not clear.... I am not expecting Lexus to warranty my new wheels. I am just asking if it will affect the warranty of other parts of the car. E.g. Brakes, suspension etc.... How about insurrance?

Dont think it would affect warranty. But you DO need to inform insurance

Ok thanks. Just out of interest, why do you think the insurrance companies bother to want such information?

So that they have an excuse to increase your premium!

No, seriously.....the insurer wants to know about any modification that may alter either the performance or aesthetic value of a vehicle.

Yep... It can make a difference to the running of the car or could make it more desirable for people to steal the car :duh:
