Help on a Rim Decision
I found a set of 18" Forte Nokturnal Rims. I'm kind of on the fence but the price is pretty good.
Just curious if anyone on here has a set and what do you think of them on a 93 LS400.

Greetings! Great forum you guys have here!
I just picked up my first Lexus - a '97 LS400. It needs tires, so I thought I'd look for an inexpensive wheel upgrade too. The existing chromed factory 16 inchers have kissed a few curbs, so first stop is a suspension inspection (suspected loose tie rod ends), a possible steering rack (minor leakage), and a four wheel alignment.
I found a set of 18" 2011 LS460 take-offs on Craigslist. Best I can tell, they've got a 32 offset. Anyone know if those will be a good fit on the older car? How about a tire size that gets close to the current 225/60-16 overall diameter?
I've also seen ads for 17" IS 250 & 300 wheels. If the 18 inchers are trashed or won't fit, those would be plan B. Thoughts on those?
Thanks!
