I would say junk yard too, unless you want to pay a lot of $$$.
Also, swap out that tire on the spare ASAP, if you can. Definitely don't do high speed highway driving on that. That's the original Goodyear Invicta GA tire from 30 years ago. I believe these cars came with Eagle GAs in the earlier model years, and then later with Invictas.
Good thing is if you get a new tire, you can swap it to the new rim afterwards, or just keep it on the spare.

I wouldn't even trust that tire at slow speeds if it's 30 yrs old.
Is that an original OEM stock spare rim? How did they decide which side rim to give you for the 90-92? (L or R ) Seeing how they're directional rims. This one is a R rim now on the L.

The first gens from 90-92 with directional rims always had a right rim as the spare.
What made this one unique is that it's missing the letter in the center. You'll notice the one OP shows does not say "R" in the middle.

Thanx CELSIOR for that info. Even after all these years I still enjoy learning more about Lexus, even something small like this.
I always thought the L or R was on the inside of the rim. Now it boggles me even more why so many people put these rims on the wrong side if the letter is right there in front of their eyes as they install the rim.
