I think I found a set I want that is close. Best price is $450.00 right now. Comes with used Nankang 225/40/18 tires, which correct me if I am wrong is the slightly off. 235/45/18 is what I need. I'm still on the fence a little. What do think? I see potential. I would not want to lower my car like this but maybe a little. Need Spacers?

I would get them

To tell you the truth I really dont like sc430 wheels on the ls.
And nankangs are awful tires. They are loud and wear quickly.

To each his own. If you like it, go for it. 450 with tires is a good price.

The 1-LS super slammed it looks good. I've thought they look so-so in the 2-LS. On the 2-LS you'll need a 15mm minimal front and like the one in the pic, the back is way sunk so a 20-30mm spacer to even it out.

Here is another option with 18x8 tires Kumho Ecsta Asx 245 x 40R x 18

Newer SC430 rims I believe. $400 for the set. Looks like they need a little scuff repair.

Here is a third option. Did not really want 19" but the deal seems pretty good. These were OEM track wheels I guess off a Genesis. $425 with no tires. Wish they were wider and inside is painted Opinions?

Bolt Pattern: 5 x 114.3

Front:
Wheel Size: 19" x 8"
Wheel Offset: +35

Rear
Wheel Size: 19" x 8.5"
Wheel Offset: +35

GO WITH DOOR NUMBER 3!!!

Those would look amazing.
They look like the 18" is350 wheels that I have only way more agressive.
I really like those

They are good looking rims. Would look better if they were chrome. Don't like the fact that they are 19's though. Tire longevity, ride, tire cost, etc. all for 1 more inch...

I'd get the newer SC wheels, I don't think the genesis wheels will look good on an LS. You're finding good deals though, wish I was that kind of luck hunting some new wheels lol

I like the fact that they are darker. Looks good imo.
As far as tires go, there is a set of brand name 19's at my local firestone for $50 a piece.
Look around and you can find cheap tires.

Well worth it imo.
Are those in PR? I thought I remembered that you were coming to the states. If so, I might be interested in those wheels.

How about the offset? What is the general rule of thumb on what offset to use? Are there any year SC430's that won't fit?

How about the 18's from the 3-LS & GS? Conservative 19" rubber isn't in as sweet a $ spot as 18" and 20" tires.

Not finding anything factory from the GS or newer LS series.

the other Genesis wheels (optional 9-spoke from the 6-cylinder sedan, say around 2010 model) are the best looking ones on an LS, I would say

no offense, but those sc430 wheels are ugly. why not save that $450 and get some big boy wheels? if you are however looking for a good alternative for stock wheels, i'd say go with the 3rd gen gs350 wheels, they look good on the LS.

here's my collection of stock wheels:
