Default Does Linea Corse sell replacement wheels?

Hey guys, I've been considering buying some linea corse dynas for my IS350, but i want to know if they sell single wheels or only as a set. I've heard of some unfortunate cases of bent/cracked wheels and want to be able to replace one wheel instead of a whole new set. I e-mailed them a while ago but no response back. If they dont, I may just start saving up for some work t1s.

Thanks for the help

No they do not. It's absolutely ridiculous, I wouldn't recommend these wheels to anyone. Ordered from wheeldude and they have been less than helpful

Yeah their customer service seems somewhat shady. I sent two e-mails about it and never got one back. Yeah i think i'm just going to save up for the work t1s because i'll know that i will be very happy with them. I just think its kinda ridiculous not to sell replacement wheels if you want to be a competitive company; bent/cracked wheels are usually uncommon but I would hate to buy a new set all over again. In the long run i see it as just buying a set of works in the first place b/c if a wheel does crack then i'm down $1300 + another $1300 just to get a new set for one damn wheel...and for $2600 im guessing I could just about get the t1s.

I love Work wheels. But hope you realize if you ever have to order just one wheel its gonna take 3-7 months just to get it.

More like 8~12 weeks, you could always slap the owns while you wait.

yeah thats why i will not be selling my stocks. I Learned my lesson about that on my last car. So if need be, i can wait a couple of months to get the wheel. Its better than buying an entire new set. It just amazes me that linea corse wouldn't offer single wheel replacements. I'm sure they could actually make quite a bit of money since they're not horribly expensive ( i.e. instead of fixing a bend....buy a new wheel)

of course we sell replacements, it's rarely needed, but they are sold

Of course everything is subject to availability, but I ensure you that Dynas will not be discontinued anytime in the near future, it's on of our most popular styles for the lexus so I don't see them going anywhere for the next few years (polished finish only, other colors weren't as popular)

Any questions feel free to PM or call us
