The price is very nice for the stock alloys. I dont think they are ugly.

yeah, i like them too....
it does say "replica" wheels, so that was my main concern....but the page says they're "identical aftermarket replica wheels made to exact factory specifications" and made to "meet all TUV, DOT, JWL, and VIA standards...whatever the h*ll that is...
and the seller has very good feedback too.....

not bad, id call around looking for a used OEM set since 370 is a lot i think for oem-style rims. but then again, you can get 17s from TR for like ~$400 i think, dont know how that works for winter tires though.

nope, 430s had these 16s, these wheels were also standard on 2000 Plat. Series cars.
later LS430s had these 16s.

Yea, those 16's are pretty much the downgrade from the LS400 rims. Out of all stock 16's, i'd favor the 98-00 rims

I had the later LS 430 rims on my 95 years ago and they looked nice compared to my other stockers.
