Like these deep dish but they are only 18"s

Yeh quiet like those. Are they for sale and if so are they all tyred up.

Shame they are 18" but you never know.

It really depends if you want a staggered look. i.e Rear wheel wider than front wheels.

I couldn't source any wheel manufacturers in the UK who make staggered fitments for the SC. The SC is simply not that popular in the UK and people here tend not to modify their SC's.

However, in the USA, there is more to choose from.

My Goodyear Eagle F1 245/35/20 tyres cost £160 each and the 285/30/20 cost £180 each.... I thought those prices were pretty good!!!

Thanks for all the relevent info guys. Not to worried about tyre price been there before. What about ride quality on 19 / 20's any major gripes from you guys. Also if anyone has any wheels for sale even just the wheel conversion kit let me know. Thanks

Chaz

Need to move the old pie covers off lol

Hi Guys,

As the title says really. Looking to change the wheels on the SC. Show me what you have with a pic if poss.

Looking for 19" Perhaps even 20".

Thanks and regards

Hi Guys

I am missing one of the Mark Levinson badges of the door tweeter speaker.

Can the dealer order me one or does anyone have a suggestion where to source one from.

Only a small thing i know but it does bug me LOL

Thanks

Chaz.

Chaz i have the same plug in my box.

However mine is in the lower part of the centre console.

I thought it was for a mobile phone, it could also just be a 12v charger.

I going to have a closer look and just may ask the main dealer.

So if you or any other members have any idea's drop us a line....

Cheers Ian

Hi Ian,

Dosent look like you could charge anything from it or connect it to a mobile phone.

So Ian if you do ask the dealer or discover what it is please tell.

Hi Guys,

Looking around the interior of the SC today and opened the little cubby hole directley behind the center armrest virtually level with the middle of the back seat.

opened it up to find what looks like some sort of electrical switch/ relay. Says Toyota Lenso on it. Looks like it should be there so anyone sugest what it is for. Wire goes into it from the drivers side and i think it is black and white wiring.Looks like it can be unpluged.

Cheers

Chaz.

Chaz B - looks awesome but in your photos the SC looks more platinum ice than gold. Great time to pick it up with the recent weather. Bet you are grinning from ear to ear. I know I was!

Aquanuke - totally agree about the LuxLink - I'm looking into it... will keep you posted.

als thinking that but all the paperwork says gold.

LuxLink yeh that looks good please do keep us posted.

To be honest the B3 is a bit sharper but very little in it.

It will stay standard for a small while .

Chaz

Nice looking motor mate, bet you're well chuffed :D

Yes mate too right. I couldnt make my mind up what i wanted after the alpina but very glad i chose the Lexus.

Thanks for the comment.

Hi Guys,

Well finally picked the car up yesterday afternoon. The weather was super sunny so a good day to collect.

WOW what a car for the money. I am over the moon with the car, the quality, The performance ,everything about it(even the wood is growing on me).

Makes my old Alpina B3 Cab look very shabby at the side of this and i absouloutly loved that car.

Well here are a couple of pics for you to look at.

Enjoy

Chaz I think these chaps do custom SC430 interiors, not sure if they do right hand drive though.

Thanks for all your help mate

Chaz

Hi guys,

There will be one more on the roads from wed as i get to pick mine up.

Welcome to the club Chaz! I see from your other post that you've gone for the bronze with cream leather. I think the cream leather looks great but I don't think it would stand up to my constant grubby shoes so I had to go with a black interior.

The weather should be great by the middle of next week so plenty of chances to the get the top down! And don't forget to post some pics when you get a chance.

Hi Guys,

Yep it is bronze with the cream leather and the light maple wood trim(not a big fan but didnt put me off the car)

Its a 2003 '53' with a gen 15930 miles.

Will post some pics when i pick it up.

Thanks for the comments

Hi There everyone.

I have just purchased a 2003 '53' plate SC 430 with 15900 miles in bronze with cream leather and the light mapple wood trim.

What i would like to know is can you get the nav monitor to display TV and play DVD's and if so whats involved.

Is it possible to change the wood trim as i am not a massive fan although it is not enough to put me off the car.

Also can you change the rear lights to LED later spec ones and if so where do you source them from.

Thanks in advance for any replys to the above and look forward to chatting with you all.
