I love my wheels too. Cannot remember what the are called, will check it out and let you know. I bought them from Scotland, found on Ebay. Not much choice in the UK, but I think they are perfect. They are probably made in China as they were not that expensive.
They are 8.5 x 19 and 10 x 19. The photo shows the labels from the boxes.
I will see if I can find the details and post the link for you. Time for bed now, almost midnight here.
Should have the Megans on in a few weeks and will post the install.

Thanks for the info. Hope you had a good night-night. Please do the picture thing after you get the megans on. I didn't go that route, I went with just the lowering springs. We both feel that it rides a lot better with the new springs. Can't wait for the tires to wear out so we can get new ones. I likes the tread that I see on your tires. What brand are they? How do you like them? Would you buy them again?

Where are you in the US, I see your message was at 5.06 am this morning???
My tyres (spelt in English) are Avon ZZT's. Only done about 1,000 miles on them, but very pleased with them (although anything is better than the RFT's).
I found the details of where I bought the wheels, but unfortunately the company, DP Motorsports have suffered some really bad feedback in the last couple of months and they have removed all there listings from Ebay.
Hope this helps.

Thanks WIL44, glad to hearthat you had a good night-night and now it's time for another. You ain't wrong about anything being better than a runflat. If I can get mine wore out. It's hard when it sits all winter in Pennsylvania on life support (battery tender) and I'm in Florida soaking up the warm weather. We brought too much stuff, and the SC just wouldn't handle the stuff. Maybe next year. As far as the 5:06 or whatever, I'm an early riser, have been for years, when I worked. Now that I'm not I just can't break the habit. Never heard of Avon tyres. To bad about DP Motorsports to cause I think I remember them on ebay. Better get going. Later

So, it is a slow day at work today and I was just thinking, what are the rarest regular color combinations for the SC through its production (excluding the PB & NM editions).
When I was looking for an SC the saddle interior was a must and it was much harder to find than the ecru or black. I ended up purchasing a Midnight Pine Pearl & Saddle and I rarely see the same combo.
I think the strangest color is the Twilight Amethyst Pearl. It just seems to limit the appeal.
Any thoughts?

The Twilight Amethyst Pearl SC430 is featured on the first ever SC430 brochure in Canada and USA I believe, one of most beautiful Lexus paint ever in person

Sorry, I said my tyres were ZZT's should have said ZZ3's.
Here's the link, but don't think they are available in the States.

Glad to hear you don't have to work anymore, when I eventually retire I will stay in bed till lunchtime.
Thanks for letting me know you are in Florida soaking up the sun while it's 3 degrees Centigrade here!!
Best Steve

WIL44 (Steve) 3 degrees centigrade is real warm, Right? lol I think you should be going night-night sooner. I think you're not getting enough sleep. lol Thanks for the info on the tyres. I think you are probably right about them not being available here in the states.

... and these are examples of why it's rare to find TAPs out there. Wherever I go, I'm the only one around, & I quite like that. We can agree to disagree. If it's an acquired taste, then there's more for me.
Quite frankly, I like them all. But if you like yours, that's all that matters.

Thanks a lot. This is great. When you get another chance, please take some more pics.
I am trying to figure out what type of side repeater was installed. I actually installed side repeaters on my RX, too. For the RX330 I bought the side repeaters in Asia so I was sure it was the right lamp assy. Looking at this picture, they look the same as my RX330.
Thanks again.

Photo's you asked for, weather was better today so gave her a clean.
Sorry about the dodgy bloke in the reflection!!!
Difficult to hold the tape and take a photo, but the measurement from the top of the cill to the centre of the repeater is 13.5 inches.
Hope this helps.

Absolutely great. Thanks a lot! I will be doing this DIY soon. But it means the bumper will need to be off and the whole headlamp. Unless I find a way to tap into the signals other than the front.
Need to do some research.
Thanks again, really appreciate it.

3p6
I just recently purchased an Indigo Ink Pear/Ecru with birdseye maple (matches the neck on my Telecaster;-) but my favorite is Twilight Amethyst Pearl (3P6). I've only seen one in person and the color was mesmerizing!

I purchased my Twilight Amethyst Pearl (3P6) about 6 months ago. I have always been attracted to Burgundy coloured cars as they are extremely classy.
My apologies to those who have white, silver and (shudder) gold coloured vehicles but they are just too boring!
Next favourite would be the Indigo and Dark Green.
