You only have the donut spare? hmmmmm I have a full size on a factory rim with mine. You might be able to get one at an auto wrecker or salavge yard. The question is, will it fit in the well of the trunk? Not 100% sure. Anyone?

Ebay usually has single OEM wheels for sale cheap then buy a matching spare. ;)

My question is,what year do you have?

You should already have a full sized spare, if not someone stole it.

SK, it's a 96 LS & I was thinking the same thing. B)

96 LS definately had a full sized spare. Someone swiped it somewhere along the way.

let me go check.

is it suppose to be full size with the same rim?

ah man, thanks guys. the last time i quickly glanced and cause the rim was upside down with the cap on, i figured it was a smaller spare. (i drove a honda before this, i guess its a nice wake up to the luxury of lexus.)

yup, full spare with brand new tire. how sweet.

one of my rims has about 70% of the chrome chipped off. now i can go get it re-chromed. any suggestions is sothern cali for a chrome shop?

You guys remember that Saturn commercial where the two guys are staring in the trunk of a Saturn and they were talking about the full sized spare? And the one guy said that one of them was spotted of the coast of Scotland or something? Anyone know what I'm talking about? It was a really funny commercial. It is probably 5 years old at least.

thanks

check ebay, a company that is 20 miles north of L.A does re chroming or they will take your old chrome rims for $300 and give you 4 new chrome rims. I forgot the name of the company, I am getting senile, because i just saw it yesterday.:chairshot:

Just found out the location. Its in Van Nuys called " L.A. Wheel & tires". phone # 1800 584 2832. I never purchased from them. since you live in orange county, you can call them up and check it out.

If the spare wheel is nice, swap it with the chipped one and put the bad looking one as a spare. No cost.

Full size spare here..

[choiboyogg]

well the thing is, the one in my trunk is not chromed. its normal silver.
