Default GX 470 Custom Wheels Pics ?

Anyone know of a good source besides the Club Lexus Gallery for pictures of the GX 470 with custom wheels?

I am about to buy a GX 470 and like just a tad of the "street look" but I don't want it to look like I am driving a "pimp mobile" either.

I saw some good pics in the Club Lexus gallery, but would like a source for more pictures of the GX 470 with custom tires & wheels.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark - Dallas

Good luck finding any pictures. The best place is probably here, but there's not a lot of people with aftermarket wheels. Most have done 20s. A few of us have done 22s (see mine below).

Default Thanks For Pics / Wheels & Warranty?

Hey guys thanks for the great pics!

All photos of after-market wheels on GX 470's are welcome.

Someone told me that the warranty could be effected if you put after-market wheels and tires on......anyone know the scoop on this?

And please more pics!

I think that varies from state to state, but for the most part you're only voiding a part of your warranty IF the aftermarket part causes the problem. All you have to do is stay with the same overall wheel diameter (or as close as possible) and you will have no problems.

Perhaps, there was a demand for its replacement, white, "Blizzard Pearl".

Hey, asked one of the sales people, they said that there used to be a problem (on some Sand Dollar Pearls) about discoloration, on the CLADDINGS ONLY, not on the body. They have now fixed it, and still are using it onthe LX470.

And another thing (which i would have guessed) , the Lx owners are pissed with Sand Dollar Pearl on the Gx (said by my sales guy!) because it defeats the purpose of them buying an LX (cuz the Sand Dollar Pearl GX looks like an LX from far away).

Default My 2004 lexus gx470

it has 20" moto metals 951 with a nice tire (nitto terra grapplers). It was a pain getting wheels for the gx because of the size and all the extra stuff u have to buy like sensors for air pressure and spacers if need but i didnt need them. They were perfect fits with beefy tires.
