Default yes or no on these wheels and 19 or 20

these are 20 inch Lumarai wheels not lowered and staggared

think this is good or should i do 19"

price diff is $600 since i have tires for 19" already

want smooth ride and good look.


going on a black sapphire (dark blue) ls460 swb non lowered

will cost about 1850 for 20" with tires and 1200 for 19" with tires i have.

thanks

these wheels are....

"Accepts Lexus O.E. Wheel Lugs
Perfect Lexus Wheel Offset
Lexus Compatible O.E. Center Cap
Accepts Lexus O.E. Air Sensors
Hub-Centric for Lexus"

according to website

It looks really clean and I like it a lot!
I will go with 20s but its your budget to plan with. 20 inch tires are easier to shop, and most of time the 20s are a bit cheaper than 19s.

My opinion only~

looks pretty clean, i would go with 20s, otherwise i would just stay with stock 19s

though i probably would want staggered setup

i think pretty much all aftermarket wheels make a nice car look ghetto. get one of the nice OEM wheels. the 19" 600Hl wheel is nice.

Totally agree though I'm in the minority here. The 19" 5 spoke wheels are very nice or the 600 wheels.

you can't be getting anything decent for that price.....

spend a little more for quality wheels/tires or leave it stock.

wheels look 'ok'

hmm, so far 30/70 it looks like.

please dont judge them on cost, i am in the auto industry so everything is at cost. normal prices are 330 for each wheel and about 200 per tire... looking at yokohama S drive tires. so normal tire shop charge is over 2400 OTD for the 20" staggared setup. the pics from the silver one were $3300 since they got michelins.

i think my other option is also the stock touring wheel 5 spoke in 19" which i also like if most ppl think these 20's are not so good. I think the base 18" wheel may look "prestigous" to some but looks boring and old to me for sure compared to like a s550 amg or 550i sport or even a m56 sport wheel.

and can't go with a 22 since changes the ride too much, have to lower it, tires every 10k or there noisy, etc etc .... whole diff ballgame.

looking forward to more opinions.

Lol, I wonder if this dude is still around as this is exactly what I want to do.

Stock setup, +1 or even +2.

What do you guys think about stock SWB LS with 19 or 20 in wheels and not lowered?

Anyone else running 20s on stock suspension?

Cheap looking with aftermarket wheels and not lowered?

The Lumarai wheels are built by TSW and have the proper hub size along with suitable offsets to avoid spacers in most cases. For the SC300, the Lumarai Kya 19s using a staggered setup was selected.

The Moro's are a nice 5 spoke design and there are certainly a lot of other choices in that spectrum if price is no option. The fitment will always be a challenge depending on your intentions and the look you want. In the end, go with what you like and enjoy.....

Thanks Duck.

I'm not necessarily interested in any particular brand of wheels, but more interested in seeing a SWB LS 460 not lowered and with 19 or 20 inch wheels.
