I got new wheels - 42611-53670 and 42611-53690 for IS 350. I like these better than the matte black BBS wheels since the matte texture is difficult to keep clean and nice looking.

My question is where is the best place to get the wheels with TPMS sensors added and installed onto the tires and to the car? Lexus dealership? Discount Tire?

I'm very nervous about the installation process (machine or done by person?) when installing new wheels. I don't want whomever to scratch these nice new dark metallic wheels.

Discount Tire does a lot more of that than any dealer, but I’d check reviews of the places near you (including other tire shops), as workmanship varies from place to place.

My local Discount Tire has been pretty good to work with, but they are all different. You could go to a dealer, but not sure if I would.

Agreed. My local DT has been great. No scratched/scuffed rims. Proper pricing. I have been going to my local one for 4 or 5 years. They do my Rav4, did my Fusion, and when tires come due on 350 they will do it too.

It's funny you ask this as I had the same question when I finally received my wheels a few years back. At the time I worked at a shop that didn't do tires so I couldn't do them myself. I had my wife ask on Facebook (I don't have an account) and everyone pretty much said the same thing, discount tire isn't a horrible spot, you just have to be nice but firm with them. I asked them to take seriously good care of my wheels and tires as (at the time) I had waited 6 months to receive my wheels so the last thing I want is to wait 6 months to then have them damaged. Wasn't rude, wasn't an a-hole or anything, just kind of a "I will inspect everything pretty closely once completed" type of thing. Had no problems after all.
