Hey guys,
I went to the dealer today to ask about my front left tire having a leak because I would fill it up with air and 2 days later the low pressure light will turn on. Turns out that the previous driver of my car had cracked the rim and it will cost 650 to replace. What are my options, if I don't want to pay 650?

Thanks in advance,
Kai

 

ebay - as cheap as 250 for a lexus is rim.

 

So I could purchase off eBay and get it installed at discount tire? Btw are front and rear rims different? Wt is the total cost that I am looking at?

 

Absolutely a local tire store can swap them out--as for staggered or not, I am not sure.

the IS250 AWD is 17x8, or 18x8 all the way around (I am sure), but I believe the RWD models are different in the front and rear.

 

I have the rwd with 18's

 

Will this work? http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewi...id=93853699734

 

When did you purchase this from the dealer? If it's certified, I think you could talk with the pre-sales manager about it to see if they can replace it for free.

 

Another option is to take it to a wheel repair shop where they can dismount, repair, and remount your tire all in one shot. Look for a wheel repair facility in your area and you can search reviews of the shop on a site like Yelp. Take it in an they should give you a free quote.

 

Thanks for the input guys.

I have one more question that I need clarification on. I know the tire sizes on the RWD IS250s are different, but ARE THE RIMS DIFFERENT TOO?

Thanks!

 

perfect excuse to get 19" rims!

 

I would go to a rim repair shop if I were in your position

 

I'll sell you all four of my wheels for that price with tires. And they're powder coated black.

 

daaaam...that's a steal! I'd buy them maybe for that price!
