Monyx Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Last weekend a mechanic friend who has worked on ISF insurance repairs was telling about me about Lexus cost of repair incl wheel replacement. I was enquirying with my delaer yesterday about reprgramming the all-door unlock & I asked on a whim MY12 BBS wheel replacement price: $7,500 ea! :o I txt my wife and said no parallel parking anymore unless she's really confident! I'm not sure if this is designed to discourage purchase by non-ISF owners, but if it is there should be a realistic price for genuine replacement purchase for ISF owners - I mean a nice set of BBS new is what $6-8k normally??

Howiefied Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Sounds about right, 34gtr wheels were around 7k each. I bought an immaculate dealer take off set for around 2k the total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monyx Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 god dammit...of course knowing the cost of these wheels and how much I love the MY12 BBS wheels I am uber careful...but kissed the gutter entering multilevel carpark few weekends ago while going to see MI: Rogue Nation. Downer on my outing, after the movie wife remarks 'you really didn't enjoy that did you?' Good movie...but I was so dirty at doing what I have never done even back when I drove bombs with $200 set of mags. Pretty light rash in the scheme of things, Craig from Wicked Wheels in Queanbeyan (he does a work for dealers incl Lexus Canberra) reckons I won't see the repair.....'but I'll know' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISFBloke Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 For this reason I have special insurance for rims and paintwork and windscreen. Costs me $15/month, they'll repair rims, stone chips scratches etc whenever I fee like its time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
