SOMEONE HELP ME! im guesing im gonna have to replace that Rim arent i..... please someone tell me an alternative.... ugh.... its times like these where u wish u didnt take the new car....

if replacing one rim is the only option i prolly will just have to live with it being scraped (im crying) but to satisfy my curiousity how much will ONE OEM ISP cost me...

I don't know how much a dealer would charge for a new rim, but I found this on ebay.

That sucks. Don't worry though one rim isn't too bad. Sewell Lexus sells ISP's for 250 per rim with the Club Lexus discount code. I just got a set from them. No centercaps though. So just order one rim from them then take your old tire off and mount it on the new one at a shop. Then you can keep the old scraped rim for a spare or something.

I got the same thing on my car, but unfortunately, it took place before I took delivery of the car. Amidst all the excitement of getting the new car, I didn't give the car a good one over before leaving the lot. Now if I bring it back, they'll just say I did it and that I'm trying to get a free rim.

There are places that specialize in the repair of damaged wheels. Read this article: http://www.vwvortex.com/artman/publi...icle_326.shtml

You may even have someone local that does wheel repair. I've had some pretty bad rash taken out of my wheels and also on my fiance's NSX.

There's also a place I've used to get bends out of wheels you ship them off to, but they are east coast and I'm sure there is something closer to you

wow thanks MD i feel a little more relieved i might just let it stay like that for a while until my dad finds it and then tell him. if he found out what happen even b4 we even have the liscense plate for this new car he will look at me and think im the biggest dumb@ss in the world. even though it was the sacrificed that had to be apid to avoid a collision with te REAL dumb@ss racer who cut me off. maybe lexus can do it when we take it in for the compilmentary 1000 mile service. they prolly wont make THAT complimentary thats for sure lol

don't forget that ISP's have a special finish on it though.. the dark satin pearl finish that's different than the plain silver color of the stock 18's.. so the color might be tougher to match when considering replace or repair.

id hope the lexus people (if they can actually do it) know that its a differnt finish and woudl know what to do. as for another local business, if i tell them, im sure theyd do good work ( i think?)
