WTB: OEM SC430 Spare.
I am looking for a spare for an SC430. I ditched the runflats and would like to have one just in case. Anyone who has one they do not want please let me know.

I couldn't email you.... invalid id.. anyway,
This came off my car. It has the center cap on it and I never removed
it. This is the wheel, center cap, and bolts holding on the center cap.

Got your email
I got an email from you. What I want is the spare that goes in the trunk for the non run-flat cars. I just want it in the garage as insurance.
Thanks

ah..o.k.
That'll cost you about $1100 at the dealer...
NO ONE around seems to have them just to sell and I've been watching ebay for a really long time... they are just to scarce!
Only the 1st few SC430's had them... I think the count is less than 20 in the country .... and the dealer wants an outrageous amount for them!!!!!
...better off with a full sized spare in your garage IMHO

Spare tire search
I guess I have started a quest for the SC430 Holy Grail. I just wanted to get the spacesaver and have it for an emergency. But, as discussed here it sounds as if this will be a very hard find. I guess I will keep looking and try and come up with some other options. Anyone, who has done away with the runflats and has some idea or solution please let me know.
Thanks

well...
When is the last time you had a flat anyway?
Why not just make use of the Lexus service if you get a flat and have them tow you in for a flat...
Last time I checked, my Lexus dealer couldn't even sell me the space safer spare because they couldn't get the parts necessary ... but I don't know if this is still the case or not..
...AND I also heard that Lexus is using different (Better) run-flats for the 2003 models that is a softer ride so maybe you want to look into that?
