Default 18" OEM wheels on a 2000 LS

Hey guys I am thinking of upgrading my wheels on my 2000 LS400. I am thinking of one of th following wheels, both will be silver (probably not chrome because I live in NYC/NJ)

1. Lexus OEM 18" wheels (wheel size: 18", Width: 7.5", Offset: 45mm, Centerbore: 60.1mm, Backspace: 6.0", Bolt pattern 5 on 4.5"/5 on 114.3mm)

2. LSportline wheels 18" wheel (waiting for the spec)

Which one looks better on the car (mine is silver) and how much will it cost me. Also which tires should I get for the best ride (quite, ride quality and comfortable ride), I'm thinking 235/50/18. Someone on the forum went with this size for ride quality, I'm thinking the same

Tell me what you guys think.

Thanks

These two wheels serve two difference purposes. If you want to retain the factory look, go with the OEM 18's. If you want to go for chrome/aftermarket look, go with the L-Sportline. You can’t go wrong with either on a Silver car.

It's just hard to beat that L-sportline rim man. I mean it was made to look good on the LS, but then again so was the OEM. I still say L-sportline...
