So I made a quick chop the other day of what IS350 rims would possibly look like on my car...of course I'd like to have chromes, but here is the chop:



Need a new set of rims as my current ones lost a battle with salt over the winter. I thought they would be OK over the winter time, but my luck , we got so much ice and snow that I could never actually clean the rims off.
Current options:


18" GS430 Polished or in chrome
20" ENKEI LM1/5S Chrome
18" L-Sportline -IV
Rechrome the LS430 18's

20" L-Sportline Model-IV since it wasnt up i picked the closest.

if thats not an option then the 5spoke GS 18s

You have the same exact V8 emblem as Puredrifter on ur front quarter-panels. Ive been looking for those on ebay and have only found the Mercedes edition of them. Is that what you guys have?

Is that sidemarker light on the front bumper an actual working light at night? Because I notice that ur's is clear, when normally it is orange in stock form.

ebay sells the clear marker lights, i even have a spare pair sitting around but one side is jacked up and useless.

i would like these myself, but i can't ever find them on ebay....not for the LS anyway.

the ones listed are for other models....

**as for your wheels?? i love your current ones!

The side markers on ebay for the other models WILL FIT THE LS

I repeat, the GS300 and GS400 preGS430 side markers will fit the LS400 markers.

MY markers are fine but in the morning one side is sorta fogged up but foes away in the day.... sealing issue maybe??

And yes, they do work.

Pics so I can make an informed decision? Def not the IS350 wheels though.

heyhowyado

hey, how hard is it to replace them???

its a PITA, you have to enter from both under the car and from inside the wheel well.

heyhowyado

really? ahh well, i'm gonna give it a shot.....since i got this car and started reading here, i've gotten a bit more adventurous as far as doing stuff myself!

Passenger side is cake from under the car. The real ***** is the drivers side...I removed the headlight for that one

yea, driver's side is a real PITA because of the windshield washer bottle >.<

I like what you have , or the enkie ones as they look similar.

The side markers for the bumpers need to have silicone pressed into the edge before installing them or they will leak water inside. Place the silicone on the edge and press it in with the palm of your hand or finger and you will see where it is not sealed properly where the backing meets the clear lens.
