I could be interested in buying them.

I just bought a LS430 with Chrome rims that have a documented history of leaking air. A week into ownership and as expected, I'm loosing a couple of lbs every three days. The dealer has already done the grind and polish on at least two of the wheels in the last 20k miles, and a well known and respected wheel repair facility quoted me $125 to "recut the bead" - I'm going by the shop today to discuss. But I have also writen into my sales contract that I have the option to buy new rims at dealer cost if I desire.

It may turn out that the difference between what you can sell them for and what I can purchase new for is not that signficant. They list for $484 on Sewellparts.com...I come from the Audi world and we would probably sell a $500 rim for $125ish, I admittedly don't know the market for this rim. But chrome brings in leaking issues, not many chrome wheels on Audis.

How old are yours and have you had leak issues? Center caps included? I'm in Dallas but I'm flying into LAX and driving down to Rancho Palos Verdes for a two day meeting next Tuesday.

Thanks, ep

Thanks for the info on your tires.
What I need is someone to tell me how much 4 used OEM chromed wheels should sell for.
Hope your wheels work out for you if not message me.

There are past FS on LS 430 wheels in the Wheels Tires Classified section to gauge prices.
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/whe...lassifieds-41/

Price range based on condition can be from $150-$600.

Of course, you're not selling anything here in the LS forum, as that's only allowed in the classified forum.
