Cracked rim slow tire leak

[SixFive]

call your local lexus dealer, talk to the parts dept.
give them your vin no.
they will know from that what wheel you need and give you a price and availability

it will be the most expensive but simplest option for you.

otherwise, call a local junk yard. tell them what you're looking

for, most junk yards nowadays, have parts locater across the country.

or, also check into aftermarket wheel companies.

you can check into that online.

gluck,
burgh.

I have no local Lexus dealer, and Toyota locally is no help. Look Elbrus wheels online. There is nothing. No company website just confusing used stuff on eBay and other used sites. I don?t want to order something and it be wrong and be stuck with it.

If they are all old aluminum aftermarket wheels, think I would replace them all for safety.

Get a set of 4 OEM on eBay, craigslist, slightly used.
People replace originals all the time with aftermarkets. A good set of 4 should be fairly easy to locate on internet or nearby boneyard.


Gluck
The stealership will absolutely rip you good for new ones.

Check in the neighborhood with a kid driving a tuner.
Chances are he'll have a set of rims or know someone that does. Usually tires to match.
Better than letting the car sit there.

Bought these through costco 4 years ago. Still look new.
They shipped to my home and I brought to local Costco tire center for free install.

my bad, thought they were factory wheels.....

just buy a set of used wheels from a junk yard...

or, depending on where and how severe the crack is, it can be fixed with jb weld...

but finding a shop to do it for u could be a problem...

that wheel the you have may not even exist anymore.....company could be outa business...

wheel could've been discontinued years ago....


send me the wheel, ill fix it for you if possible...i have a repair shop and fix some of them depending on the crack...its most likely cracked at the lip of the wheel where the tire bead and wheel meet....thats why its slowly leaking....

let me know if you're interested.

burgh..

Found a place in Nashville that will repair the rim. Hopefully it will work.

Got the car back after the place doing the ?rimjob? had it two weeks. Cost $190, and the wheel is perfect now. The tire company also warrantied out my tire that was damaged by the cracked rim down to the belts (which I don?t think they had to do). Good outcome for sure. Thanks for all the suggestions.

The rim place has some sort of special welder that they use to work on the aluminum/alloy wheels. Apparently it?s not common and not easy to use.
