That's what the guys at Lexus told me would happen. Apparently there is a short beep when you start the car, but after that there should only be that light.

When you say it stops flashing, does it flash every time you drive the car then turn solid after a few mins? I reckon I could deal with solid, but the flashing would annoy me

Default Kiwijapan and others

I just spoke to wheel tec, where I purchased my aftermarket wheels and tires. They said that they reinstalled my OEM sensors on the new wheels and that they have a re-set tool that has to set the sensors to the cars computer. If the shop that installed your new wheels don't have the tool, they will not work.

I am sure that the dealer can reset the sensors for you. Ask them to do it. If you had a bad wheel and they had to replace the wheel and put on the original or new sensor, doesn't it just make sense that they have to have the tool to make it work properly.

I hope this helps you all. Don't take no for an answer from your dealer.

Does anyone know if the NX200t can have two sets of tpms sensors? I read that the 3rd gen IS didn't allow this but 2nd gen did..

My Rays Gram Lights 57FXX came in a few weeks ago but I was too busy to pick them up. Will pair them up with Continental DWS 06 in the spring. I got a pretty good price considering the US to CAD exchange rate :/....

Wheel specs: 20x9 +38 Face 1 (Didn't want to go too aggressive as this is my parent's car)



Got them glass coated to resist road filth and the minimal brake dust.


Thanks to Sam @ Nextmod for the hookup.

Thanks. I'm not about to throw $6000 CAD rims on my winter beater lol!

Thanks corrado! They're surprisingly light for being flow formed and not forged. I'd say around 25 lbs. max per rim.

What kind of money - ea.

I found a wheel that look identical almost. So the Grams caught my eye. The ones I looked at don't have the offsets we need. (XO Verona) So the Grams might do it.

I have been looking at the XO Verona as well and was under the impression that you can get them in many offsets including +38 and +35

IIRC , on that wheel it was the lug pattern not the offset , my bad. 5 x114.3 wasn't available. I'm not sure how updated the site is if you find them in proper fitment lmk.

I found a place that carries them they will drill the lugs out 5x114.3 if you are interested.



"Hello. Yes, we can have these wheels custom drilled for your vehicle. The wheels will be 20x9 front and rear.
They are only available in matte gunmetal and silver. The black finish is currently out of stock.
Regards"
