Oh man that looks perfect to me in every way! I am seriously debating on getting an LS430 now. I just ordered those same wheels as well for my SC300, freaking 90 days is too long huh? Anyways, great looking car!

Lookin' good
The red caliper actually blends with the taillight and the wide-5 spoke almost full face wheel covers it perfectly.

Another cheap mod is to get bigger exhaust tips to compliment the wheels

Good to hear on the wear experience - reading up on the reviews, that was one reason why I went with them, although they have a little road noise that I was surprised about. Little bummed about that, but I will get over it.

Hopefully it won't take as long for you. I was originally quoted at 6-8weeks. They got shipped over with a couple of other orders that took place after mine.

Very good choice of wheels. They match the image of a big luxo sedan really well. You have good taste.

With out a doubt a very impressive set up. I love the look of the LS. I also like the E430 you have. I used to have the Metallic Black E320, I miss that ride. Congrads.
