rhett Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 How can I get a pic on the message. I have seen several references to the same wheel on ls400. I am not the only one having this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, these are BBS look-a-like, replicas, that dealers were selling to unsuspecting customers at BBS retail prices plus a substantial markup. Be careful, some of the early ones had to be turned on a lathe to allow room for the brake caliper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IS400 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Anyone have any ideas where I can get one. Getting one is the problem. Here in the north a lot of us use our factory wheels to keep our snow tires on. I use my 17" IS300 wheels 9 months of the year and switch back to blizzaks mounted on my factory 90' wheels for dec-feb. I'd say unless a dealer has one in stock from way back when it is going to be a hard sell to get someone to part with one and be left with three. Good luck in your search and I'll keep my eye out for one. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1990LS400 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I suggest that you email your wheel photo to the Prime company and see if they can give you the model number. Knowing the model number might help you do a search. Although I love the way they look and they are of great quality, I have certainly had second thoughts about my purchase of Mille Miglia Bello wheels from Tire Rack in 2003 for use with snow tires - which I mounted yesterday, by the way. I would have been better off spending a few more bucks and buying take-off Lexus wheels which I could replace if I ever bent a wheel. I can't find the Bellos anymore, anywhere - long discontinued.

Whats your spare like? If your spare is the same, than just switch that with your spare, or get an ugly wheel as a spare and move the spare to your hub. As for the rim, look on Ebay, if you cannot find it there, you will have a tough time finding it anywhere.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
