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.

  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 !!

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
  15. LexusAudio “Gus” in Ohio is the Man. He sent me a Brand New OEM Radio LCD for my 1999 LS400 in just 3 days after I talked to him, I had it installed by the Lexus Gurus in Maryland “Pro Care Auto” in Reisterstown Maryland. (410) 526-4480 I told one of the guys “Former Lexus Dealership Mechanics” that i wanted them to swap my Radio LCD rand he told me “It cannot be done, I have to replace the entire radio”, I then went on to explain to him that I had a contact at pioneer who has the OEM LCD’s. The Pro Care Lexus mechanics were so impressed after they put in the LCD that the boss with 14 years Lexus/Toyota service experience told me he had NEVER seen anything like that with the Lexus radios. “As per replacing failed component instead of replacing the entire unit” Lexusaudio “gus” was very reliable and professional, he even called me several times on his Cell Phone to check if I had received and installed, he even gives a warranty in his product. If you need your LCD or radio taken care of call Gus at (973) 360-3536
  16. I was looking the OZ Opera but could not get assuarance that if would clear the 99 LS calipers ? Where are you getting your rims from ?
  17. Wheel Collection #2 for 98-00 LS400 Attached is the second set of rims that came mostly from a company called Victoria Tire, does anyone know about the quality of those rims ?
  18. Guys, After 3 painful weeks and still no rims i wanted to share with you the collection I put together while tsearching for a decent set of wheels 'Non-Bling" for under $1500.00 My favourite is almost every rim on collection #1. OZ Opera/ Opera PL not sure if the PL will fit a 99LS400 ?? (Tirerack Please comment ) All comments welcome Thanks
  19. Yep cars are close. I have 50,499 Miles I plan to put an average of 5K Miles per year for 4 years. I am thinking of getting the warranty as soon as i fix the radio LCD. Funny because i posted a question about extended warranty but nobody responded. It must be a taboo on the forums (LOL) I was quoted 1500 (AAA) & 1900 (Lexus Pinnacle) Who are you using for your warranty. Thanks
  20. Removing the radio. How difficult is it ? I really do not want to scratch up of break the wood piece. Ade
  21. I stay in the Columbia area. Why would lexus let a common thing like the LCD slip bye ? I also have a 94GS is OK, the radio was probably manufactured by someone else
  22. I just noticed that the Mode that displays the current fuel consumption in my 99 LS400 is faulty, it shows Readings as High as 5mpg down to 49mpg ( I wish). Does anyone have the slightest clue as to what needs to be replaced and what it might cost? All the other modes work perfectly. Range Elapsed Time Average gas Consumption etc .....
