Default M3 wheels on a LS4. Pic..........

Ok, so I have a set of 18" M3 wheels laying around and got the urge to see what they would look like on the car. I could not bolt this on since Lexus and BMW have different lug patterns. Found a set of adapters that would work though.

Opinions? Sorry for the crap cell phone quality.........






They are not sitting in there final rest place either. It's just a guesstimate as I will be using H&R springs......Oh, and the maroon lip would be taken off and painted black.

You might be running wheel adapters.

Not gonna lie. Those look bad. Even as an OEM wheels for BMW's it gets played out on almost all of the lower end models &
the size is not right for your LS.

There's a few guys with the BMW wheels on their SC's and they look dope.

Say if you had one of these wheels:




Then it'd be worth the effort IMO.
