Default Wheels on L-Tuned GS430

Hey, my Dad bent a wheel on his 02 GS430. He has the L-tuned package and the wheels are OZ. What is the model name and where I can I find some? Thanks.

The OZ wheel line is quite extensive. Without a picture it'd very difficult to tell what model it is.

They're the OZ's that come with the L-Tuned package. I'll get a pic.

If they were 18s, then they are the Salinas. If 17s, SuperTurismo.

They are OZ superturismos. I have them on my car. You can still get them from OZ outlets but I believe they are discontinued as far as Lexus using them. I am still trying to find out the exact color or paint code they are to try and get some touch up spray paint for curb rash. Nobody seems to know or are unwilling to say.

They're 18s so they're the Salinas. I remember the name now vaguely. I remember coming across a pair on ebay for dirt cheap a couple of years ago. We should have picked those up

They are definitely discontinued. For awhile, there were a few or the rear 18x9.5 floating around but the the 18x8 fronts were very hard to find.

Okay, so I'm giving up on finding the Salinas. I have found a set of wheels that I like, but I'm unsure if they will fit. They are 18x8.5 +15mm offset and 18x9.5 +20mm offset. The car is lowered on the L-tuned package. Thank you.


OT, but do I have any leg to stand on with this discontinuation issue with the OZ Salina? Think I could get anything for *****ing to Lexus about this?

Professionals have tried to repair it but given the location of the bend, they can't get it perfect. I get vibration at 60+ and it's driving me crazy. Sorry, no pics of the bend ATM.
