Standard Wheels (ls430)

[big_rob_sydney]

Hi All,

The time has come to sell my ls430, and the clowns I've been dealing with have been ridiculously overpriced for what they want.

I have 4 wheels that need a refurb, I need 4 new tyres, and 1 centre cap.

Can anyone offer a solution that doesnt cost the earth? I'd like to retain a stock appearance, as the car will be getting sold next month one way or another.

TIA,

Rob

I may be wrong but I believe Lexus were replacing wheels on the LS FOC due to the corrosion problem depends on the age I think.

So what about IS200 wheels? Does that mean that I could get mine replaced FOC from lexus as its classed as a manufacturing defect?

Whereabouts in London are you? I've had wheels refurbished at Wheels in motion (who use BJV Engineering) and my wheels came back great. Mine cost £200 which included straightening two that had been buckled by a pothole. They'll be able to sort you out with new tyres at the same time and prices are good for them too. Prob easiest to get the centre cap from Lexus, can't see it costing more than £10-15.

Lexus will replace wheels if within warranty, if your car's over 3 years old, then it's not going to happen unfortunately.

I'm in south London, in Carshalton.

I had a chat with Croydon Lexus, and thy will only sell the centre caps in a set of 4, for £77.

Wheels in motions sounds great. I've done a search in yell.co.uk but cant find them. Do you have contact details for them please?

Thanks,

Really? That's weird, they sell other centre caps as singles so not sure why the LS ones have to come as a set..........I'd suggest trying a few other dealers too just in case they're not being completely honest.

Here's the site for WIM..........LINK

Tony (who runs the place) is a member on here too so will probably come on here and see this at some point anyway.
