hi

i am in the process of getting another key cut for my RX300 i was quoted £350 lol from Lexus but have found a man that says he can do for alot less

getting it done Monday 18th July so will feed back my results when done

Dave

well done you ;)

I have a RX 300 (54 plate)

Glad this has come up as both my keys are broken and stuck together with super glue i think

The Grey key looks OK

I am assuming that a replacement key from Lexus is expensive that is why every one is trying an alternative

I like the look of the folding key and it does look robust why dont Lexus produce a key like that

are they expensive to get cut to what you want ...sorry for all questions

Dave

as above go get it and enjoy it ......i did and have a smile on my face every time i drive it ....fuel economy is 25 mpg but i did not buy it for that ......i bought it cos i liked it ;)

Hi Dave, I got all my wheels replaced free of charge from Lexus and it was over four years old and out of warranty. Went to my nearest Lexus dealer as i bought my RX from a lexus dealer in heartfordshire and not local to me, and just asked them ! They took some photo's and contacted lexus and they agreed and replaced them. They know they have a problem with them just argue your corner that you dont expect a quailty car like this to corrode so quickly. As long as they are corroded and not curbed you may get them done, worth a go first mate. Dont forget the spare also. Other than that i have had wheels refurbed before on my older Toyota's and i belive its better to get them powder coated than buy aftermarket wheels, least you keep the car original and wheels are much better than new when power coated. Approx cost near me is £40-£50 per wheel to get done. Tyres, i just put four Hankook RH06 Ventus st100v 235/55 v18 on mine at cost of £100. each and seem really good and quiet.

Hope this helps

Phil.

Thanks Phil

might try what you suggest and see what happens as regards informing Lexus of corrosion on wheels

thanks

Dave

Hi

I have done a search on this forum but did not get any answer

my question is the only thing that lets down my car are its alloy wheels they look really rough

just purchased car 2004 model so was wondering is it cheaper to have them redone (and will they last looking good)

or go and buy some new ones probably not

Lexus but a third party type of wheel and what brand of tyres would you recommend on there at the moment the size is

235/55R18 look like budget ones

Thanks for reading and hopefully i will get some replies

Cheers Dave

No one can help me then
