I can see the slight green but how bad is the fender? Are you replacing that too?

Default In need of major help!

Ok guys, I have been reading through the thread here and I need your help.

Total Newb here, and I need your expertise to help me identify the wheels in this photo. I am purchasing my first Lexus and want to fit it up with some new kicks. The ones below are just the ones I have been looking for, but I have only located them on an ad on Ebay.

I have gone through 3000+ wheels on one website, tried the "10 spoke wheel" search numerous ways with no luck. I even have a post on my Facebook page reaching out to my friends there.

Any help in identifying these would be incredibly appreciated.

what year of LS400 are you getting? that will play a big factor in if the wheels will even fit or look right. what size of wheel do you plan on running? are you lowering the car? (god I hope so). are you looking for massive lip wheels? whats your price range you can afford?

the reason for all the questions is they are rilly important to getting the right wheel. heck, the wheels I would love to get that would give me that perfict fitment with just the right amount of lip would cost me $7500. there is no way im dropping that kinda money on wheels for a 90 LS400, a 98-99 LS400 I could probibaly do it though.

IMHO, I think those wheels are ugly. that's me though, take it or leave it.

I also advise looking through this wheel section to see if there is anything you like better.

OCR,

1) It's a 94.
2) I am not certain of wheel size yet (my initial thoughts are 19/20's).
3) No plans to lower the car (personal preference), but that could change if I'm not happy with the look after I find the right kicks for it.
4) I'm not sure I know what you mean by "lip wheels"?
5) Price nor money is an issue as it's more important I'm happy with how it looks.

The great thing about wheels is that there's something out there for everyone.

Ok I see what you were saying about the hood. I take it the right fender is the one that needs replacing.

Just FYI, 19x11 32et is the highest ET you can fit before hitting the shock with a marginal -7.5º ofd camber in the rear.... but you can tuck those 19x11s like a mah-******ing BAWS!

But rear shock drops will fix that problem.

if you think coils are the most expensive part of air you need to research more.
