the front of the "blades " on those wheels should rotate towards the front of the car.....

Congrats on the car. you got it for a steal

Check your waterpump to see if it is leaking. Heck when i got mine i took it to Lexus and paid the 100 bucks to have them run though it and tell me everything wrong with the car and what needed to be changed/replaced. Worth every penny

Got all the Maintence up to date, Then is was on to the Mods.

Congrats. A great picked up.
If you don't abuse it too much it will last 300k+ miles
Upgrade the DRL will make a huge different look.

If the wheels are on correctly, they should look like this:



Note the edge of the spokes front and rear.

It's just one of the thngs that some people notice.... I can't be sure from your pic, but I believe your rears are on correct.... But yes for the fronts you should switch sides.... The "blades" when oriented correctly are supposedly functional in cooling of the brakes/rotors....

Lillcop17: Congrats!
When I got mine I just drove it for a month or so to get used to all of the power. Then I did some mods. Lexus cars are very reliable. If you follow all of the scheduled maintenance you will be fine. No extended warranty required. Best Regards. Shot
