Default LS460 5-spoke wheels on LS430

What do you guys think of the combination of a 19" LS460 5-spoke rim on an LS430?

I personally thought they'd look better, but after some horrible photoshop of mine, I think they don't look as great.

Anyone has some pictures of the rims on the LS430 in real life? Or some good photo-shoppers can invest in giving us a better visual..



From my crappy photo, it looks like the spokes are too masculine for the fine straight lines of the LS430. I personally love the OEM 5-spoke of the LS430, was just curious how this would result.

The Rim of LS460 is 5*120
LS430 is 5*114.3
I think they can't fit each other

Make sure the spare is also 5x120. The GS 5 spoke wheels might be a consideration. Then no additional expense of adapters but the factory wheels are pretty conservative if you are after a more flush look. Plenty of Lexus rides that look pretty nice with MB or BMW wheels.

Yeah the GS 5-spoke does look good. Wonder how that would look too. But does the GS 5-spoke come in 19"s?

awful. I think mixing years and vehicles is not attractive. There's some LS430 for sale on autotrader that has newer GS wheels...it looks terrible!!!

Default My 430 with replica 460 wheels

I have received several compliments on the wheels from other LS owners.

Here is where I bought them from. They were very inexpensive but they have held up well and ride excellent. I have Goodyear eagle sports mounted on them. I was hesitant at first because of the low cost but given what my car had on it when I bought it I was willing to take the chance. The offset is not the same as the oem wheels that came on the 430 but it's less than 1/4 inch.

Nole thanks for the great pic! I think the car is looking really good, honestly.

I bet they would even look better when lowered, not mentioning if they were 19's..


Lovely kid
