WAHHHHHHH!

I still can't get over how amazing those rims are.
And I still can't find them!!
But I shall keep searching! Thanks so much for trying for me!
If your Uncle(?) who gave you them has any information on which model Lexus they came from or which year, that would be fantastic

Side markers are OEM and come manufactured with every car made for the Australian market.
I asked my uncle and he said he found them in a tyre store and though it would be a great addition to the car.
I've been searching and i havn't been able to find the same ones..
They are unbalanced though :\

Now i need to clean all the leather on the inside,
Any suggestions ?
and also, would a Cold air intake be a good addition ?

I suspect that they are aftermarket rims with Lexus center caps. If they were truly made for a specific Lexus model, they wouldn't have so many holes for lug nuts.

Like the fresh looking rims. Super clean too! But, I'd definitely look more into your oil level light though, but at least it's level and not pressure... If you swapped out the engine and it's still on I'd say chances are it's a wiring issue.

Today I took a look at the old engine and spotted the wires from the oil pan going to the electronics and though it may have been some oil sensor
I got out a multi-meter and tested the points until i found the right wires.
I figured that when the wires on the port are connected together that the check oil light goes out.
So I split both oil sensor wires in the new engine and connected them together and soldered them .No more check engine light
