Ed Fenwick Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Aloha folks, when I bought my ES 350, it had black painted 19" wheels and tires. I bought 4 17" rims from Craig's list not knowing the center hubs with a big "H" on them would be a different size than Lexus. Is there anything that I can do to get Lexus center hubs on these wheels? Thanks for any help God bless, Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX400h Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 As you can see in this table, some Honda wheels do have the same bolt hole pattern as some Lexus vehicles. Bolt-pattern.com - A comprehensive bolt pattern guide for cars! But really, you should determine which 17" wheels would fit, if any. Head to www.tirerack.com for lots of info.

Ed Fenwick Posted July 29, 2023 Author Share Posted July 29, 2023 Well the wheels fit on the car but my problem is the center hub that has the cars logo on it. Thanks Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Fenwick Posted August 6, 2023 Author Share Posted August 6, 2023 Not a problem CT, I have always been a German car fan, this is my first Japanese car. It is proving to be a real education. the transmission is going out now! God bless and thanks for the help, Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexus-CT Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Have had more than 20 cars, biggest was a 300SEL 6.3 and 3 other smaller from same company. BMW had 2 and they were garbage. V not bad. I find that Honda, Nissan, Subaru and Toyota (incl. Lexus) generally make more reliable cars than European factories, except maybe for the old Peugeot 404 diesel truck that can live being abolished in mountains in Africa and were repairable without many tools; some of the veterans still drive there. Take care and enjoy the Lexus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Fenwick Posted August 6, 2023 Author Share Posted August 6, 2023 The French make some qurkey cars but the 505 was as easy to drive as this ES 350. I'd buy another if I could afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexus-CT Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Had a Peugeot Rally and whenever driving faster than 40km/h rear windows closed automatic. Constant electric problems as common ground was under the front lamp and then I lived in a cold wet country when whenever it was a bit cold salt was sprayed on the roads.

Ed Fenwick Posted August 6, 2023 Author Share Posted August 6, 2023 Yikes, that is slow!!, I was under my ES350 Friday and didn't see any rust. That says a lot for Hawai'i. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an island. Is it not salt water that is around it? That is great. No rust on a 2007 car. Meaning we have a lot of years left before we need to worry.

Ed Fenwick Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share Posted August 14, 2023 well CT, I painted one hub black. It looks awful! I'll try silver. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexus-CT Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I thought the wheels were black! Hope you are not having problems with the terrible fire on the island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Fenwick Posted August 15, 2023 Author Share Posted August 15, 2023 Aloha CT, sorry had black wheels but bought silver ones and put on tires. The silver ones must have been from a Honda 'cause the hubs have an H on them. I have a jpg file of a Lexus logo and printed it to fit the hub. Glue it on and several coats of clear lacquer and pray. Once again, the Lord has saved us. We are on the Big Island and our fires were way on the north side. The horrible fires are on Maui, far from us.

Lexus-CT Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Hope the fire will soon be extinguished. If the layers of clear lacquer are not enough to keep them good looking, maybe you can send one of the Honda caps to a 3D printing service and have 4 made with Lexus logo on them. They should be able to print more or less anything. 3D Innovations, in Honolulu claim they can print your dreams. +1 808 722 8667 Lexus-Logo-Wallpaper-2022-291275574.eps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
