I saw them on Discount Tires site.
Edit.... thought I did

...yet!!! I am still working some strings in the background to get one allocated to you. I am confident that you will have one assigned to you by the time spring rolls around in "La belle province"

Is the IS500 eligible for the 2.49% promotional interest rate from Lexus/Toyota?

“It is on its way from the railhead to the staging area to be loaded on a delivery truck to us. Goes, factory, sea, port, rail, truck, another truck to us”

Any guesses when it will arrive to the dealer here in Tulsa, Ok?

😭
I got mine yesterday in OKC, so it should be soon!

No luck with discount tire. I guess it is too early. Someone will have to be a guinea pig. Or maybe Lexus can disclose.

Quick update:
The original car under my name is nowhere to be found (at least by the dealer), but there is another LE that became available due to the buyer backing out. It is #242!

One super minor issue at this point: the original car under me had a VIN that is 350 numbers lower than this #242.. should I POSSIBLY wait for that, hoping it's <#50??
I'm probably just going to go for the 242..

For what it's worth, a 48 month lease would go at a 5.5% rate in Canada while a 60 month finance rate would be at 3.9% with a 1.5% discount (lease or finance) to any current Lexus owners through a loyalty discount. Insane that I have a 0% on my 2021 IS 350!!

Compromise - Sometime, we have to make compromises (lol) Seriously, this is a minor issue and given how people are struggling to find an IS 500 that they want (ask Answer), I would not let something as trivial as this get in the way between your car seat and buttocks....I say go for it 200% and enjoy!! CONGRATS!!

Imagine passing this puppy and then realize yours originally assigned got somehow re-routed elsewhere and then miss out all together. Especially that you want a LE, once they are gone, that is it!!

You are very correct.. have to COMPROMISE. Thanks
Will be picking up the car tomorrow (salesguy asked for a favor, since he already hit his quota this month).

The Canadian website has wheel specs except for offset I think.

I ordered 18x8.5 +35 Enkei PF01s for winter.
