I have a set of unmarked, new Lexus LS400 wheels which I used on my previous car (an LS400!). I bought the wheels brand new and put a set of brand new tyres on them. The tyres I chose are the tyres I have now been buying for ages - Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD-3s.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, the tyres cost an absolute fortune, mainly due to the fact that they have a very high load capability (101W). They have genuinely had less than 1000 miles use since new (only had the car a few months, and the wheels for even less). Both the tyres and the wheels are to all purposes brand new (I don't say this very often), and there is not even a scratch, mark or stone chip on any of the wheels.

I am intending on putting the wheels on ebay, and am not sure whether I will sell them with the tyres or seperately. So if anybody on here requires a set of these tyres, eg, S-class or A8 drivers, then please get in touch or PM me an offer. I am aware that I will not see a similar price to what I have paid for these, but can't help thinking that I won't get that much more for the wheels with new tyres on! (how many people actually have LS400s and want to buy new wheels?).

Any sensible offers considered (phone around for a price first! :) ), could even PX some part worn tyres to put back on these wheels?

Cheers,

Will

What wheels fit an IS200 coz my dad has one?

Bolt pattern etc should be the same, but you would need to check the offset and width. Mine are 17" 8J wheels, with a positive offset of ET45. I wouldn't say it was impossible as I have seen IS200 wheels fitted to an LS, although the LS is probably more accommodating with its larger/wider arches etc. ;)

You would obviously need different tyres as they would be the wrong size for an IS.

Wheels are actually very nice. I have included a few pictures that I took in anticipation, but they did not come out very well as it was indoors and a little dark! ;)

Cheers,
