Beautiful 430! I love those 5 spokes, looks so aggressive without being over the top, could pass for an OEM LS430 sports edition. Excellent color combo as well, saddle is a sweet interior color!

The new grille looks good man. Your LS is the first one I've seen with LM's on it.

FYI,

The model ones in 20x8.5 with the 45offset does not clear the LS430 front caliper.

Thanks for the info.

We did test the 20x8.5 up front on an IS-F and they cleared

45 offset on an LS430 is way off anyways the wheel would be inset too far.

I looked for a clean saddle interior car for months with no luck. Simply gorgeous. Those LMs would be sick in a matte black on there or a finish like the vossens. Love the grill looks clean. Trying to find a black one with no emblem as I type this. The k break is insanely priced

Looks really good - from a fellow 04 ul saddle owner. Such a great interior color.

Hey what's up! I'm friends with Tasha and she was just telling me about your car. I'm so jealous as I was telling her I wanted the saddle! Beautiful car you have there. I'm not sure how I missed it as I'm in Atlanta and have been searching up to 300 miles.

Lavrishevo: your interior looks flawless!!! I love it!

What's up Andrew! She talks a lot about you. We were trying to come out to atl to visit you when we were in Nashville. I literally found this car 2-3 days before we went out there and I had been looking for a saddle interior for a while as well. I just lucked out since the dealer was just a few minutes away from where we were staying. I would see some saddles pop up in Florida when I was looking for this car...you're getting your car from Florida, right? Good luck with it!

Thanks, the interior is in fantastic shape. Not a lot of saddles to be had but searching on Auto Trader with it as keyword might help. There was a low mileage black on saddle on CL Atlanta a little while back for a good price. I found mine via Auto Trader at a Lexus dealer in Raleigh, NC. Drove nearly 1000 mile round trip to go get it. It helped it was a single owner serviced its whole life at the same dealer who was selling it.
