aftermarket wheel question
I would like to say everybody's 460 sitting on them deuces is bangin, unfortunately I can't go that route this time as I came from a 745 with deuces and they were bent 3 times. I drive to nyc a lot and there are too many pot holes so I'm tired of driving 15 mph looking for potholes so I will opt for training wheels (20) still a better look than stock. My question is have the stealership ever denied a repair for suspension or steering related due to the size of the wheel or it didn't matter ?

1) Designed by Lexus. Hub Centric wheels; 2) You will NOT require centering rings {"hub centric rings"} ) 3) You use your EXISTING Lexus lug nuts (all other aftermarket wheels require lug nuts different from what come on a Lexus) 4) And you use your EXISTING Lexus center cap (altho they DO supply a set of Lumarai caps). And ...... LOL ....... They do NOT require special wheel alignment procedures later.

The wheels are actually made by TSW, America's largest aftermarket wheel manufacturer.
Shoe them with Continental tires for best results. "Continental Extreme DWS" - Tire Size Front: 245/40/20 - Tire Size Rear: 275/35/20
Find your cheapest price. THEN call DiscountTireDirect. They will BEAT your best price.

Let us know what you decide. And WELCOME to Club Lexus !

I bought mine from the dealership, and like New said, there are many cars on the dealer lot here in TX with 20s and 22s, so I'm sure that they can't possibly use aftermarket wheels as an excuse to deny repair.
I will echo everything that Mikey (and Chris) have posted RE: Lumarai. They are a great set of wheels, I couldn't be happier!

Thanks guys I was thinking about 21 but I ran across I guy at a RIM shop and he was selling some niche 20 with tires brand new for 1000 he never got to put them on he's car because it was totaled. The only thing I didn't like, it wasn't staggered but I can live with it at that price
