1 Set of Four
5-Spoke Original Take-off Wheels
From 2004 Lexus RX330
18-inch x 7-inch
Structurally Perfect
Some cosmetic flaws
Perfect for winter use with snow tires
$349 + Shipping
Background:
These are the four aluminum wheels that came as factory original equipment
on our Lexus RX330 with navigation/DVD package. That means they are the
5-spoke powder-coated silver colored wheels that you see on so many RX330s
with that option. The problem is that whoever the Lexus factory bought the
wheels from did a poor job of surface preparation before painting and, as a
result, there are some small dimples (bubbling) under the paint on each
wheel. These are pretty subtle and because this is my wifes car that I
drive little, I did not even notice them until after the factory warranty
ran out last year. Lexus would do nothing (to their ever-lasting shame), but
the dealer (to his credit Lexus of Ann Arbor) did offer to sell me a set
of replacement wheels at 50% of his cost and I kept the old wheels. These
wheels have cosmetic flaws to varying degrees. Most have only the
hard-to-see paint bubbling I described above, but one has some minor curb
rash from when my wife cut a corner too sharply. They are structurally
perfect with no damage from pot-holes or anything like that. No structural
problems at all and none are bent or deformed in any way!
Offer:
So, I'm selling them at a very low price compared to replacement wheels to
recoup some of my costs in getting the wheels we bought from our dealer. (A
single reconditioned or even just used factory wheel will cost you
$150+shipping!) I think these would be an excellent investment for anyone
with a current-generation RX330 or RX350 that would like an extra set of
wheels to mount snow tires on and not have to worry about their summer
wheels getting beaten up by winter driving. Or, if you just need to replace
structurally damaged 5-spoke factory RX330 wheels at modest cost compared to
new wheels. These may also fit other applications that take an 18-in. x
7-in. wheel, but you would need to check on that.
I can supply close-up jpg images of each wheel individually on request as
e-mail attachments. The wheels have all been washed after they were removed
and are clean of road grime.
Condition of Sale and Shipping:
IMPORTANT Read this!!!
Buyer pre-pays including actual shipping from zip 48642. No handling fee!
Shipping weight is 30 lb. per wheel. (I will probably ship 2-wheels per
box.) Insurance is recommended, but not required. I can ship any way you
want.
Preferred payment is by PayPal. Also acceptable are bank checks, money
orders, or personal checks. Personal checks are aged 5 business days before
shipping. All other payment forms result in next 1-2 days shipping.
Reliability:
I am 1897B on eBay. Check feedback or contact me through eBay, if you wish.
I am located in mid-Michigan.
Thanks for looking!
