My dad has a 2005 Lexus LS430 with the optional 18 inch wheels and he just dropped me the offer of trading my rims for his...

just wondering what you're guy's opinion on this is, im pretty sure the lug pattern is the same and the wheels should fit without a problem...

my 2006 tC should be here within a week with the 17 inch wheels and my dad said it doesnt make a difference to him what are on his car...so should i do it???

heres a pic of the lexus' wheels, and im gonna do a chop to see how they look on the tC

 

a really quick (and bad chop) the wheels were showing reflections of grass and looked green so i desaturated them, and i lowered the car a little coz im gonna get the trd springs and shocks, so what do you guys think?



by the way, you can click on both the thumbnails for larger images

 

those look stock

 

they dont look too bad but i like our stock rims

 

i think lexus bolt patterns are different. i dont think it would fit on our 5x100 bolt pattern. lexus has always been 5x114.3 IIRC.

 

^^^ what I thought.. also with the tires they might be too big to fit in?

 

ill check the bolt patterns, i thought they were the same but if not, oh well

does anyone know if you can order TRD rims through the dealership, coz that will be my alternative then...

 

stock

 

Yeah you can but they're going to over charge you, try e-bay or some different rims.

 

Moved...

 

I can tell you for a fact that those rims won't work. My family has had four lexus: es300, is300, ls400(can't remember on that one if it was a 400 or something else), and the new gs300. All of them have been 5x114.

I guess technically, you could change the bolt pattern, but the time, effort, and expense would be as much or more than buying new rims, especially since you'd have to change the bolt pattern on the lexus, to get them to accept *your* old rims

 

Too bad, the bolt pattern doesnt match!
They look okay on your tC. I still prefer our stock rims!

 

ehh...

ill look into other rims then, they dont really suit the scion anyway (the lex wheels)

i really wanna look into those trd wheels....

 

Good thing they dont fit. Your Dad would have gotten the better end of the deal!

 

good places for TRD wheels, at least cheaper than what you'd pay at the dealers, are:

www.mcgeorgeparts.com and www.trdsparks.com

Last time i checked, both had the 18" TRD rims, as well as the 19" TRD rims.

I looked at the 19", both the TRD's and the actual Racing Hart Evo's (the people that make the 19's for toyota). THe 19's are amazing!

 

looked at trdsparks, they dont have any wheels in the wheels and tires section - tire neither for that matter...

ill look around for more wheels tho...

 

I know mcgeorges does....I've looked there several times

 

yea good thing they dont fit
