Two Left Front Wheels
Hey all,
I bought my 09 IS F in August of 2010 as a certified pre-owned from a Lexus dealership. After looking at some photos of people with an 08-09 that had the wheels on the wrong side (usually pointed out by Joe Z) I realized that my right front was not correct. Turns out I have two front left wheels! Both say LF so there is no mistaking this. Since The car is covered by the certified warranty, do you think it's possible to have the dealership replace the right wheel with the correct one (RF) since they sold it as certified to be "like new" or is this something I'll have to do on my own? I appreciate all insights into this strange issue.

Deff ask the dealer, the fin design was specifically made as left right to help with cooling of the brakes, so that would be a bummer to be stuck with 2 left feet! Demand a replacement if they say no!

I'd hope for a replacement since this wasn't something you changed but based on how long it's been it's ultimately up to the dealership. Stock wheels are not cheap since they are BBS. Best of luck

Does anyone know if there is a way to tell the difference between the wheels on the 10-11's? All the manual says is that they are specific to each corner and they are marked on the inside of the rim. But is there a way to tell by looking at them like you can on the 08's?

Sounds to me like there was an accident of some sort and the wrong wheel was ordered. Or it could be that the wheel was accidently mixed up with another ISF during a visit at the dealership.
Eitherway a preowned Lexus should be taken care of as long as you still have full warranty.
