Default Lexus gs430 rims on ls400

Any one have these on a lowered ls400 - I cant find any images

Also is 500 a fair price for them with michelins in good condition?

That's a good price so long as they aren't curbed or have peeling chrome. If the tires are in good shape, even better.

If they would fit. The bolt pattern is different.

I'm pretty sure all the LS430s have the same bolt pattern.

They are just stock LS430 rims in chrome and the chrome seems to be peeling inside the spokes.

Those are not the exact ones i'm going to take a look at , just a quick photo, I just wanted to get a sense of how they would look before going out there. But good eye, I actually didn't catch that in the image.

thanks

Default Picture found

My search has turned this up - although my ls is silver, the picture gives me a good idea. Thoughts?

They will look fine and the price is not bad. If you like them I say go for it.

with the air inflated to spec it still rides like a cloud.
I've even added a strut tower bar to try and stiffen it up a bit more and it did improve ride quality noticeably ( a lot more firm)
In terms of daily driving and highway they're awesome.
but
with the very small width of the wheels my ls easily gets pulled to different directions while driving straight due to bad roads here in florida (especially the I95)
also not sure if you'd mind but without spacers these wheels are pretty much sunken in.








the sunkenness
