OT...OAP lexus wheels...
My elderly grandmother is having some serious issues with her Lexus IS200...
Let me just state that she is a very good driver...far better than me...
However she struggles to keep up with the maintinance on her tyres for some reason...
They seem to go flat a lot because they are really really low profile ones.... They go flat, she carries on driving and therefore requires new
tyres...Its getting expensive..
So...Are there any cheapish steel or ali rims which have more rubber on that will fit on her car?
Is it a specific Lexus bolt pattern?

My wife had one of those for work and her tyres were always getting flat, She carried heavy loads in the back though.
I bet some wheels off a toyota might fit, camry or something like that maybe.

Porous wheels? Quite a few of the toyota rims will fit.

You could try some of the tyre sealants that go in the tyres and seal punctures and bead leaks. Did some trials at work recently and I was impressed
with how well they performed.
