Centre Hub For Old Type Six Spoke Alloy On Is200

[ivanovoitch]

Hi Guy's,

Some little @*@**#~ stole one of the centre hubs off my original (and immaculate) six spoke alloys. I didn't understand why until I went to get a replacement - it seems they are as rare as hen's teeth. I've been in touch with as many breakers as will entertain a conversation about such a limited interest item - but no one can find me a replacement. (Lexus wern't any help either unless I wanted a whole new set of wheels).

I'm sure you all know the style of alloy I'm talking about but I've attached a picture just in case.

If any one has a matching hub hanging around (or two or three etc) please PM me. I'll pay a reasonable asking price including postage.

Thanks.

Are they not part number 42603-53010, which your Lexus dealer should be able to get hold of ?

They look cheaper than I thought they would be from the dealer!

I did notice the other week though some dealers refused to supply some parts saying they were not available whereas others were fine about it!

That's brilliant info guy's cept that my local Lexus parts crowd said "You want what? Sorry mate. They were discontinued a hundred years ago. But I can fix you up with a new set of "modern" alloys if you want". (I'm in ireland - great Lexus tradition - obviously).

Do you know of a Uk parts company who are worth contacting? (when I put Lexus Parts into Google I just get a mimbo jumbo of contacts but no specialists)

Try a different approach mate - just ring them, don't let on who you are, and ask for the part number directly and when they can get it - usually works everytime :winky:

Lots of things they can't get as sometimes they can't be arsed to look for it - but with a part number all is revealed :D

I may be able to source one fella. Leave it with me, in the meantime continue the with the Lexus dealers.

I'll give that a punt in the morning. Tar!

Yeah, like Aido said, just tell them the part number, let them confirm what it is and tell you the price. I bet they're still available. Try a couple of dealers.

Thanks guy's that worked a charm.

Big up :D to Carrol & Kinsela Blackrock who sorted it in 24 hours & also got me a complete set of bulbs for my aircon unit.

(Won't mention the name of the first dealer I called...but you know who you are!)
