that shiz is baller for sure, and it looks like flashy money. to me its definitely chimpira status and not yakuza status/// if you put the crazy loud exhaust pipes and some wide fenders you could even pull off the bosozoku image as well...

i try to keep my ls430UL more on the reserved executive style and away from the chimpira image that my last gs400 (aristo) went to but thats just me. i know most people are doing a similar style out there so its unique and cool that you are trying to do something different. i thought the last wheels were a little better looking on a celsior personally. those rims would look better on a hummer or a jeep in my opinion. you definitely got the unique-ness thing going for you. what are your next plans for it?? why not some blacked out 22's???

That's bad - in the original meaning of bad. Then again, I'm an old fart and don't appreciate such things.

No offense, but these monsters belong on the 300c/impalas/chargers/the domestics

At least it's lowered and tucked and not lifted off the ground

I can't see if it says " b/c it looks like '

First I want to say that this is constructive criticism coming from me. I am not bashing you about your choice in mods.

Now, in my opinion, there is way too much chrome on this car. I'm especially not a fan of the chrome door pillars. Rims don't exactly suit the car too well, looks like something built for an SUV rather than an elegant luxo ride. My personal preference is 5 spokes (actually the stock 7 spokes are growing on me as well).

It's not all bad, I like your grill a lot, gives a black car a much cleaner look.

Again, this is just my opinion. If you like it the way it is then great! That is why there are so many options out there, everyone has a different taste.

Oh yeah, and before ppl accusing me of being old, I am 21 as of Aug 15th. Idk maybe I just have old fashioned taste. I usually like cars better stock as I feel they normally flow better. I believe that the right set of rims (one that works with the car) really sets it off. In the case of the LS, it is a bit older in terms of styling. The lines are pretty straightforward and the car looks like a proper luxo car (reminds me of the W140 benz, which I like a lot). Therefore, I think it deserves to have a simpler wheel design (aka fewer spokes, little/no accessories on them). To each his own though. Enjoy the ride man.

Seems to be a Dub stateside look and especially rolling on 22's. Different look over there.

Definitely "DUB" style, let me start off by saying the stance of the car looks good, the fitment is whack to accomodate the car being lowered on 22s the grille is tight, the pillars and the 22 emblems look ghetto. Just my opinion Im sure there are many that love it!

i have to agree. not a fan of those those wheels or the added chrome pieces. DUB style wheels, chrome ebay door pillars and 22" badge is more suited for the domestics 300c and chargers NOT lexus. it cheapens the car.

THANX!
Those Puton big rim style is Japanese orijinal [U.S custom].

So in USA,I think Its Of course undigested such style like [JDM custom] undigested in Japan too.

customd u.s domestic parts and put on big rim is equally
the VIP custom in Japan.

JDM⇔USDM
I hope to understand each other in near future.

Yes I understand, it is the "grass is always greener on the other side" mentality.

In the U.S. though, we only think rims that are 40" or bigger is baller
