Help me pick 17" Rims
04 LS430 Crystal White.
Staying with 17", already have tires.
Limiting my choice to PVD Chrome only due to NE weather.
These will be my 3 season rims.
Looking for something conservative.
Here's what I've found so far.

The first one will look better on an LS430. However, I think that it would look better with exposed lug and not the caps. The caps are more 1990's if you look at the LS400, Supra TT etc.
You could use GS wheels with 10-15mm spacers and keep the OEM look. That would likely make them flush as an added benefit. The PVD chrome would be a different issue.

the old saying: you get what you pay for
The cheaper chrome rims reflect the quality of the chrome finish
All chrome is expensive to fix if it gets damaged or deteriorates with age. The most common problem spot is the surface where the spoke meets the rim. Often you simply cannot clean the tiny gaps well enough. After a while the rust sets in and it will spread from there (like cancer).
Less problematic is nice weather states but in wintery states the chrome wheels will loose its appearance really fast
Good chrome wheels under 200 - tough to find
