I've had my LS400 for 6 to 7 years and still undecisive on what wheels look best.....I do love the look of the 20's but I love the ride of factory wheels. Not sure what to go with

I like the stance of the 20's better, but not the chrome. You could never beat the factory ride unless you are running on air. It really is a tough decision, those 18's look damn good also. Me personally would go with the 20's if they were non chrome, so I guess the 18's win the battle.

Oh almost forgot: WELCOME TO THE GREATEST CAR FORUM ON EARTH

I like the way the 20" rims look over the factory wheels.

If you want that factory comfort and aftermarket style, why not sell the 20"s for a nice, stylish set of 18"s? Just a suggestion.

Thanks for your opinion guys! I'm probably going to stick to the factory 18's for a while....I'd have to agree with Lexozz that anything aftermarket will always take away the smooth ride. Only if they made a 20" factory wheel with the same lug pattern! Oh and thanks for the warm welcome, I am new to CL and i'm liking it already! What's up Lexus owners!!

definitely not a fan of the chrometastic 20s, the stock LS430 wheels look better to me than those.

You and I are both new to the forum I see. Well, new members at least. This forum was where I did all my research before I bought my LS.

Your car looks very nice ma man. I think the decision to stick with the factory 18"s is a good one. APPROVED. Haha.

The 20s fill the wheel wells nicely but look out of place on a plush LS400. The 18s are as good as it gets, it's mostly downhill from them.

18's. With a decent A/S tire, it will ride nicely.

i always wondered what those stock LS rims would look like on a 400. Thanks for sharing. I like them better than the chrome. JMHO

nicer 20s would have made it a race but i'm going with 18s on this one. spacers to push the oem wheels out more would be an improvment.

What are those stock wheels off? UCF20s?

I love the 18s, IMO add 25MM spacers to bring them out a little. It will make the wheel gap look less excessive.

ucf30.

those 18's are not stock, they look like the gs 400 or gs300 wheels, or even the new es 300 wheels. I would stick with the 18's beautiful car though i have the 92, but i really want the 98, just cant afford right now.

they are ls430 wheels. oem, not stock.

Thanks guys for the feedback. Whether it's positive or negative they all do count. Here are a couple more pics with the 20's from different angles.
