Need info on ES mags
I am preparing for the winter and wonder if i should go with some plain black metal rims with no sensors or some very cheap used Lexus mags with sensors from the scrap yards.
My questions are do i have to find specifically ES350 mags to use the sensors or any models can do ? Can i reset the sensors myself or i have to go to the dealer.
Plus, do i have to have 5 used mags since the computer calculate for all rims ?
If it is complicated, i might as well get the plain old metal black rims, thank you.

Try e-bay motors for Camry wheels or Lexus wheels. A thought might be to buy a nice set of chrome or upscale wheels for the summer and utilize the stock wheels for the winter. I stopped changing the wheels / snow tires a few years ago. Just running the all weather tires and driving careful in the winter.

Well, in Quebec, winter tire is manditory and i don't like bringing my car every year to change the tires on the oem mags.
I just wonder if it is complicated to find a set for used Lexus rims with sensors on the scrap yards and if it is compatible with my car VS buying a plain set generic black rims cost wise.
Garsarno: Will Camry rims fit perfectly the ES, because scrap yards have a lot them ?

I bought a second set from Tire rack's web site and during check out they offered a program tool. I purchased it with the TPS but before I could use it I took the car in for the gas pedal recall and good old Lexus service reprogrammed the TPMS with out me asking at no charge.
I would caution against using Camry rims as I believe someone else tried that and found the 17" Camry rim would not accommodate the ES350's brakes...

Frankly, i want to avoid problems be saving some $$ with new plain hold metal black rims for the winter tires, but if i can find something compatible with sensors for nearly the same price, i would like that.
It is also as hard to find used 17's camry rims. Do i have to bring the car in to reprogram the spare sensors ?
