Best oem option I've seen yet. Very nice. I wonder how easy they are to find used. I can imagine buying these new from dealer would be a fortune. I'd love to see these on a stock suspension or slight drop for reference.

The rims fit without any problems and the caliper has about 3mm clearance between front rims. So spacers are not needed. But I did put a 10mm spacer on the rears only because the rear wheels sat in more then the front's (for an even look). IMO, These rims just look and feel right for an ls430. Thanks for the comments.

I used vinyl wrap from oracal premium gloss black. Before I purchased this wrap I had ordered a few samples of black from a bunch of other brands but I found this color/brand to be the best match.

Very interesting . How long did it take you to apply it and how much prep work was involved ? My trim is peeling very bad and I have been trying to come up with an affordable alternative to spending 500 bux for all new trim.

Get a roll of vinyl 24"x60" cut strips of 1"x60". Get a heat gun or hair dyer plus hobby/ xacto knife. Clean all trims with dawn dish washing soap. Strip the trims down to a smooth surface if already damaged (like you had stated). Then just go out there, on a sunny day with patients and 2hrs later, done!
