first of all, i am new here so.."nice to meet you~"

i would like to know the price of factory rims out of 98 ls400. it's chrome and i think i saw someone selling at like $1500 with fair tires. is it that expensive??

ps> i need to sell my stock rims and tires...

thanks.

Welcome Blitz, you've got a great car, I got one too.

www.aaarims.com sells those rims as folows.


Machined finish (stock) $187.50 a piece. Total $750. They do a $100 discount for buying in pairs, so that lowers the price to $650. Shipping is $12.50 a wheel, so that brings the total to $701.80 delivered to your shop of choice or door.


The chrome wheels are $322.50 a piece. Total $1241.80 shipped (includes pair discount)

Now one wheel you might want to look at is this one:

This is the 2000 LS400 Platinum Edition wheel. I'm thinking about having them put on my LS400. The price is $771.80 delivered (includes discount)

They also come in chrome for $1311.80 installed.

To access the wheels go here:
https://www.aaarims.com/cgi-bin/Web_...le=wheel.setup

Now aaarims will actually buy your wheels back, I'm not sure how much they pay though.

Then you can have the tires you have now mounted on the new wheels when they're installed, or buy new ones.

If you buy new ones get the Dunlop SPSport 5000s' V rated. They go for about $90 each and are great.

Good luck and welcome!

Stephen, what size is the last rim you mensioned? Thx.

blitz

thank you for your reply!

if chrome costs more than $1300 than i was right.
because i saw some1 selling chrome with good tires for $1500 on recycler or ebay.

well, i tried to find the price all over the web and i couldn't but you did~...

i need to sell my chrome rims out of 98 ls400.
i am considering if i want to sell these through ebay or something.

i need some extra money to get lowering springs.

thanks again!

Stephen

They 16x7 same as the 98 wheels.

I like the wheels on my 98, especially when they're clean and polished, but I like the Platinum rims too.

I love the last ones,but 16in's are to small for my taste,but those last ones look awesome.

Stephen

I was going to put those on the LS430 when I was looking at it also.

Those rims do look nice!

if they made them in 18 or 19, I wold get them, but 16's are too small for me.

Thx for the info Stephen.

Anyone looking for a nice set of rims for an LS400 could do a lot worse than these OZ (made for Lexus) ones.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...548770&r=0&t=0

And, as for getting ripped off on eBay, no doubt that can happen, but I have personally bought wheels from this guy and he is the top man for cut-price, best quality wheels. Just check out his feedback. And if you don't fancy these particular rims, check out his other auctions. (He deals extensively in all OEM Lexus wheels.) If you still don't see what you want, email him on NGOBROS2000@aol.com - his name is Charlie - and he will find it for you. It would also be nice if you could mention my name (Kim) and/or the Club Lexus community.

By the way, I am nothing more than a very satisfied customer of his. I have no financial interest whatsoever in his business.
