After watching youtube and being inspired by a particular soarer video, I decided to photochop a set of sc430 wheels onto a JZZ30/UZZ30 shaped soarer. How does it look? judge it for yourself...



now heres the problem, I couldnt manage to source any online websites selling these wheels.
Looked on the lexus australia website but there isnt any details as to ordering in "replacment" wheels. searching a few of the major automotive forums and auto parts websites didnt bring anything up either...

I was originally going to save up for a set of zinik mazottis once my turbos were complete but ive had a change in heart...

might call around a few places tomorrow such as dealerships and what not, but for now does anyone know where I could possibly source these wheels?

Talk to some Lexus dealers, there is a chance they may have some left from somebody buying an SC-430 and getting after market wheels.

Go for it Edward! They look sharp. I could give you my Lexus dealers #, but I think that they would be WAY overpriced not to mention shipping!! Can you get in touch w/Toyota Japan? Might be cheaper to deal straight w/ manufacturer? Good luck! Cheers

There are some people who source OEM parts from Japan directly on these and other Soarer forums who may be able to help out...

I like the look, was considering these ones which are pretty similar... sort of.

Only problem is you miss out on showing off your painted calipers and drilled and slotted rotors.

I briefly thought about some for my celsior, They are reasonable mags but a little too bland and 'plate' like for my taste... Need something a little more exciting to go on my celsior.

Good size though at 18x8...

There was a set for $500 NZD on Trade Me http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=124813020

Dunno, never priced em. You'd need to ring a Toyota dealer for a price..........but not cheap I would guess.

looks nice matches the chrome trim on the Limited!! judging by that photo though i reckon itd need a bodykit those wheels look too chunky on a factory setup...

are these factory for the GS300? the car itself has a similar shape to the 430 those wheels would look good on it.

Personally I'd like the wheels from the new ISF. 19" and very nice looking, not too bling.

The std (or one of the std) wheels for a GS300 are on our car (thanks again Don:-)). They are nothing like the SC430 wheels, which are ugly, IMHO.
