Wheels for '92 SC400
Hi,
I recently purchased a '92 SC400 and am very happy with it, except for one thing: the rims. The previous owner decided to equip it with some ugly BBS-style gold wheels, which -- aside from being tacky IMO (I'm not a fan of gold package-type stuff) -- have seen much better days in terms of wear and tear. One of them is also slightly bent.
Consequently, I'd like to replace them. I'd be perfectly content with buying a set of new or used factory rims, provided I could find them at a decent price. I'd be more than content if I could find a set of '95 or newer rims (assuming they're the same size and would fit the existing tires), since I like their look better. Any ideas on where to go to find them? (i.e. a Web site specializing in used Lexus parts) Am I going to be stuck trolling the classifieds and/or salvage lots to find them? Please note that I'm looking for an inexpensive option ($500 or less for all four) and am specifically NOT looking for either aftermarket or chrome wheels.
Thanks for any tips you might have!

Kirker I've got a set of rims with tires in stock size (continentals) mounted on them. They are in reasonable good shape and the tires have about 10K miles on them. Would you be interested in these?? They are from 92, but have the gold centercaps. Please email privately, and let me know

Kirker:
I have a set of Factory OEM SC400 1993 wheels with the original Goodyear GS-D factory tires on them. They are nice and all balanced up with alot of tread left on them. No sidewall scuffs or anything. They have quite a few miles left in them. I could be swayed to let them leave the RED93SC400 barn if the offer was nice. These have seen summer use only. They are in Connecticut.
