I have several chips in my OEM rims. Does anyone else have this issue? or Ideas for a fix.

It's common for painted wheels. You can get touch up paint from lexus for about $8-10.

+3 on the touch up paint. John if we meet up later this month at a NELOC meet, I can bring my touch up paint, and you can see my wheels, I used some on mine. You can barely notice it.

Eventually I will get my wheels refinished, that is also an option. If you do a search there may be places to get them re-done. I would like to get mine paint matched exactly so I might ask my dealer.

Best thing to do with a small chip is to buy wheel paint from Sewell. I bought one from them and in my eyes it's a perfect match. If its a big chip that really gets under your skin, I'd get it refinish. Call a lex dealership to find out where they send their wheels for repair.

^^^^Toyota Paint Code 1E3 is the same weather it says Lexus on the applicator or Dupl-Color. No reason to go to any Lexus dealer for this. I got mine from Pep Boys, and as I have said, it's a perfect match. And, I discovered Paint Code 1E3 at least a year before Sewell did. Could they have been reading my posts? And, just to make it clear, it's not "wheel paint" as you describe it, but a regular Toyota production color. Go to a Lexus dealer, and ask for "wheel Paint" and they wont have it listed.

I also use IE3 paint on my wheels when I get chips and have to agree it matches very well.
