Steel Wheels on my LS
http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-rim...ck%20Flat.html
Thinking about buying these steel wheels for my LS. Im not into those fancy chrome ones. Does anyone think I can get these around town? I see a lot of people with these wheels on their cars. I wonder where they get them from though

You guys are right now that I'm really thinking about it. But it seems like I can't find factory wheels for the LS anywhere. I've tried ebay and junk yards. Me personally I really don't like giving my credit card info online anywhere.

I kept an eye on Craigslist and found a set of winter wheels locally from an 01 LS430. They turned out to be aftermarket, but when there he mentioned that he had the original wheels in boxes in the basement. Jackpot!

I tried all winter to find some used OEM LS wheels, and never found a decent set for a reasonable price, so I am probably buying some new wheels in the spring, unless something used pops up locally.
My best advise to you is to go to a tire shop that knows what they are doing, and tell them its an LS430 with large front brakes - and see what they can offer you that will fit.
good luck

Yes, they are very hard to find, and when you do find them, they are all banged up, and the seller wants $ 900 - $1,200 and the wheels have old winter tires, you may or may not want.
