  1. They are located in in Sarasota, Florida http://stores.ebay.com/O-E-Wheels Here is the link to their Lexus OEM Rims at very very cheap prices ... http://search.stores.ebay.com/O-E-Wh...101158QQsofpZ0 Wheels: 18 x 7.5" replica. These wheels are manufactured in a original equipment plant to original specification. They are DOT, JWL, VIA and TUV approved. They are side impact and load bearing tested. They are manufactured with the highest quality A-365.2 virgin aluminum. The finish is superior and we are the manufacture. Thanks
  2. Glad i am not the only person that felt like that If i change from my 94GS to my 99LS i felt discomfort in my lower back. I now drive the LS everyday and i am starting to get used to it. ( I am 6Ft tall and recently got on a diet and went from 205 to 192) The LS is still a Super Ride ... MERRY CHRISTMAS !!
  3. After 5 painful months of looking at rims for my 1999 Black LS400 I think I have a deal and fit in the 2 Piece Silver Machined Club Linea Barletta 18 X 8 With 38 OFFSET. The rims are from a Japanese company Crimson-Inc and sold by DiscountTireDirect.com in the USA. Wheel Image: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/f...7&rw=8&bp=5-112 http://www.crimson-inc.co.jp/sport/barletta.html Manufacturer Link: http://www.crimson-inc.co.jp/linea.html Club Linea also make 2 other dope styles that catch my attention, MODELLO-UNO & MISTERIO 124 but unfortunately Modello-Uno is not sold by Discount Tire Direct http://www.crimson-inc.co.jp/sport/modello.html http://www.crimson-inc.co.jp/club/misterio124.html The total price of the Wheels, Tires (Hankook Ventus Sport K104) and Kits will come to around $1800.00 which fits into my price range. (4) - CLUB LINEA BARLETTA Wheel 18X8 5-112/114.3 38 Offset With Silver machined Face 1999 LEXUS LS 400 SEDAN - $275.00 @ $1100.00 (1) - Wheel Installation Kit (secures up to 4 wheels) 1999 LEXUS LS 400 SEDAN - $45.00 @ $45.00 (1) Free Hub Centric Rings (centers up to 4 wheels) 1999 LEXUS LS 400 SEDAN - $0.00 @ $0.00 (4) Valve Stems - $3.00 @ $12.00 (4) HANKOOK VENTUS SPORT K104 235/50ZR18 101Y XL B 1999 LEXUS LS 400 SEDAN - $142.00 @ $568.00 (4) Certificates for Hankook Ventus Sport K104 - $17.04 $68.16 Based on my experience Discount Tire direct has the best Interactive Wheel fitting software for Lexus. You can check it out at: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/b...Interactive.jsp Questions: Does anyone have any information on Club Linea Wheels ? What is the Quality of the Hankook Ventus Sport K104 Tires ? What is the Widest Wheel/Tire combination I can put on a 99LS without rubbing ? What is the best Offset Wheel you can get for the 1999 LS that will stick out without rubbing ? Someone told me that the Stock wheel is a 45 offset and you could go down to a 35 offset ?? Thanks
  4. I am looking for 18IN/19IN partially full face design rim that will fit a 99LS400 perfectly without requiring spacers etc. The “Helo Euro” would have been a perfect choice but it seems they have been discontinued and not available in 18IN. http://www.superbuytires.com/wheels/model/Helo/Euro/ I need a nice set without the regular chrome shine that would stand out on the job parking lot. "JMO" Thanks
  5. afaleti, Sorry about the Chiefs game........we needed a win That is a rip if the whole mirror assembly is required - but I wouldn't doubt it HOw much does that cost - $200+ ← Yes, You are very right but the only tip that everyone left out was that you need to remove the VISOR before installing the mirror ! After i removed the visor then i was able to insert the metal amd plastic bracket. It is actually the best rear view mirror setup available. N.B The auto light on the mirror is not as bright as before, It only glows at night ?? Thanks a million The LS is da Bomb
  6. THE FOLLOWING ERROR(S) WERE FOUND The requested file upload failed because suitable permissions have not been enabled on the 'uploads' directory. Please contact the board administrator and inform them of this error.
  7. My Main Man, I was not able to pop the mirror assembly back in! It was a lot more complicated than I thought? Now I am confused and really *BLEEP*ed off after the Ravens lost to KC Chiefs. Lexus has the metal plate, the part # is 7437230030 "SPRING, VISOR HANGER" (Image attached). The BEST Lexus dealer in the country Sewell lexus in Dallas has it listed for $2.99 www.lexus-parts.com Nobody can locate the plastic portion of the bracket; they all say it is part of the Mirror assembly? That is absolutely ridiculous
  8. Thanks for this Information, glad to know that they all do that ...... I used to think i got a lemon car the second day after i got the car. LOL Cheers
  9. The file sizes are less than 15K, that cannot be too big ? I have attached up to 50K in the past. I get the mesage "Attachments Global Space Left: 0bytes even before i attach any file ? Is there like a disk quota limitation per user ?
  10. That should "slide" and snap back into place if the top bracket with the 2 screws is undamaged.... Otherwise, you may need to find that part - if the side tabs won't hold the mirror assembly anymore... ← ==================================================== 99LSGUY, Thanks for your tip, after taking a better look in a more relaxed mood I figured it out. “Slide and catch at one end and push in to catch the other end” I did not reattach it yet because I will try to get a new metal and plastic brackets, the plastic bracket was bent a little and I am the type of person that will sell the car if I had a vibrating mirror. “Picture attached" Thanks Again
  11. I am getting the message below Attachments Global Space Left: 0bytes The total filespace required to upload all the attached files is greater than your per post or global limit. Please reduce the number of attachments or the size of the attachments. Any Clues ?
  12. Attached is the picture of the complete assembly with the inner side that connects to the ceiling bracket. HELP!
  13. Attached is the picture of the bracket attached to the ceiling of the car with 2 screws.
  14. Help, The inner rear view mirror in my 99 LS400 got knocked out, the whole assemply is hanging on the power and control calbe Does anyone have any tips on how to reattach or how the assembly mounts ?? Will send pics
