In my search for improved handling, I'm looking for some lightweight (under 21 lbs.) 18" silver or gray wheels that have a center hub large enough to cover the LS430's large disk brake hub. Most lightweight wheels have small center hubs which would allow that large, ugly brake hub to show. (I used to have a CTS with Enkei winter wheels and the CTS brake hubs used to rust - making it twice as ugly.)

Any suggestions, or better yet, pics?

I bet you've already considered these, but why not the OEwheelsLLC 18" replicas? Too heavy?

Those OE wheels are my defaults, but jlaws has them and said they weigh the same as the stock wheels, which would be almost 27 lbs.

Yes, too heavy. That was my guess.

I love the look and responsiveness of my stock 18" and Dunlop Sports, but man, Michigan roads make it tough to appreciate the setup on the daily commute.

Mound Road, if you're familiar with the metro Detroit area, has my fillings nearly falling out. I rented a Tahoe for a ski trip last week...The huge tires and body-on-frame construction made the bombed-out roads tolerable. Short of switching to a truck, there's probably nothing that will ease the ride. Even the softly-sprung winter beater Deville, with 60-series tires, crashes into the potholes.

I don't think Mound Rd. near the Tech Center has ever been smooth. I used to travel it regularly in the 80s visiting clients in the area.
