Ohhh, them is purty!
Great look on your black.
Maybe another picture or two?
You say they stick out a bit from stock? Can't tell from your side shot, but looks right to me
Great price!
Thanks for sharing! RW

Thanks for posting on here in the forum. I saw your picture and review on the OEwheels website. Is your LS flint mica? Mine is and can't wait to put those wheels on. I am going to want to sell my factory 17" chrome wheels, anybody have a recommendation other than ebay for them? The chrome is peeling pretty good, but they are not banged up or bent and they still hold air, what would they be worth with some 40% michelin primacys on them?

Man that's sick. I always wanted those wheels on this LS but I was told the LS460 wheels are the BIG 5 lugs(same as the Tundra) so I would not be able to put them on the LS430

My question is ..... It's states in the specs that the offset it 35. Will I have issues with fitment? The gentleman I spoke to when I ordered them says they guarantee fitment.

My current aftermarket wheels are 7.5 wide with 40 offset with no issue. These are 8 wide with 35 offset. Not sure how much difference half inch and 5mm makes.

Has anyone had any experience with this company or fitting 35mm offset on the 430?

Front calipers are a concern.Attachment 311914

Thanks

Got them mounted today. I like them. Fitment was great. No problem clearing the front brakes. No problems with scrubbing. Seem to be good quality. Will be looking for some lexus center caps to match.

Can you post more pictures from the side view at a further distance?
