Wheels in Lexus IS200 / Lexus IS300 Club Posted April 4, 2003 See my answers in blue below this was done yesterday at the Edgeware dealer: I guess I just take car to dealer and point at wheels - what approach have other people taken and how sucessful ? Very successful Should I ask for Service or a Sales person ? I mentioned it as part of my service to the service dept. Anything I should do / say, that ensures they sort my wheels ? not really What about a small mark on one wheel ( kerb parking ), will I be expected to pay something towards the new wheels ? I also had a small kerb mark on one wheel. Do they supply new or refurbished wheels ? Didn't ask Roughly how long from first mentioning it, to actually having new wheels on the car ? As part of arranging the service about 5 days from calling. Can they swap the wheels and tyres while you wait ? Not sure Has anyone tried to keep the old wheels ? ( maybe paying something for them ? ) don't know Has anyone asked about getting 18" wheels instead of the 17" ones and paying the difference ? don't know Anyone else managed to get new wheels on a year old car ? see above IF the same thing happens to new wheels, will I be covered under warrenty for new wheels again in another years time ? yes
