It's $384...plus $12 shipping (back to you).
Id like to have less leather than in that RX300 pic and more wood. So when you get your wheel back and post your review you will give instructions on when to send our wheels in. We will be paying Terry right?

----------------------
As for the size of the wood, sorry, but that's just how it is. Those are pre-cut/sized wood pieces so it can not be changed. I will speak to them about this issue though.
As for the shift ****, there aren't enough people interested for me to go ahead with a group buy. You can always hit up Steve Ganz for a price on the factory wood/leather ***** from the '01 GS's...
Drew, some people own more than one car or own some other mode of transportation (like a motorcycle)...
As for instructions, I can not give those out as it's a liability for us. If you want to remove your wheel yourself, I suggest to ask a mechanic. I won't want to be responsible for someone else screwing up the de-install/install.
Pearl - they recommend sending in a sample piece (which for some models, like the '01 GS), it's easier since they can send in the ash tray...for me, I'm just going to give them a color matched photo print...they don't HAVE to have a sample, but they can match it better if they do (otherwise, they'll just go with what they know)...
I am sending in my wheel this week. I'm just waiting for them to get back to me with some forms...

Ok folks, I have ONE OF EACH loaner wheel...
A SC wheel (which should work with older LS's) a RX wheel (which should work in a GS also). Right now, I'm looking for another GS/RX wheel since most of the buyers have a GS.
What will happen is that you'll need to put down a $150 deposit for the SC/RX wheel...once I get the wheel back from you, I will send you back $120....loaners MUST be returned within 5 days (postmarked) from the day you get your wheel back. Late loaner returns will not be credited.
My wheel is going out this week so as soon as it gets back, I'll post a full review with close up photos and everything. After that, we will get the ball rolling and I'm going to take wheels in the order that I received the initial Group Buy emails.
When I can take two or more buyers at once, I will do so. Otherwise, loaners will need to be returned before I can send them out to the next buyer.
For those of you who DO NOT need a loaner, you will go first in one batch....

Manaray...don't jump on my case for asking this but...
Why are the 3 spokes so much more than the 4? More wood pieces? Also, was there a staggered pricing for different numbers of buyers?
Thanx.

Yes, the 3-spokes require 3 pieces of wood so it's more work...and the price for the 3-spokes is $384 for 10 or more...at 20, there is another price break but we don't have that many buyers...
Also, with the "group buy dropoff rate", I wonder if we'll even hit 10.

Just wondering if anyone is getting Lexus to remove/replace wheel? Please post your experience. Specify the time lead required (appointment) and how long it took. And of course the cost. Thanks
