After bending the hell out of my alloys last winter and currently looking get a set of winter tyres I'm after a set of steel wheels.

Unfortunately I can't seem to find a supplier anywhere as none of the usual lot seem to supply wheels for my model.

The wheels are for a 1992 Toyota Celsior/LS400 but should also fit a Toyota Soarer or Supra.

Does anyone know where I could get a set that might fit?

Many thanks

Bump... it seems Toyota Camry and ES300 wheels should fit as well

Only international suppliers, unless my ebay skills are poor

I did find a single steel wheel from a soarer which had been the spare. It would have been perfect if I could find another 3 spares.

Why steel wheels and not cheap alloys, of which there are plenty on ebay?
I have a set of bent cheap alloys in my shed. Would prefer a more permanent solution smile

There must be a Lexus breaker somewhere in the country that can sell you four spare wheels surely?

Probably going to be my only option...

trouble is the LS400 uses a mini spare wheel so full size spares are probably going to be hard to come by.

You need the wheels off of one of these:



Mitsubishi Space Runner. Correct offset too I think (ET 35), as is the Chrysler Voyager.

Have you tried a main dealer? Steel wheels aren't that expensive.

Mytyres also sell steel wheel and tyre packages.

Thanks DAVEPOTH thats very helpful smile

The dealer wants daft money for 4 spares as they don't supply steelies officially

My tyres has no wheels in stock that I need frown they were my first port of call

EDIT: The mitsubishi wheels won't fit as the are 4 stud

The correct dimensions should be

OE SIZE: 16 X 7

BOLT: 5 X 114.3

OFFSET: 34-45mm

Alloys in the size that you need will be much easier to find.
