hey guys, looking to ditch my stock wheels and start slowly building my LS. iv seen these wheels floating around on a few cars on the internet, but iv never seen them in person, anyone have any idea how they will fit? ( Specs are included in the link) and how YOU think they would look on a LS?
Car is a 01 Maroon 430.

Only temp wheels. ( college life)

Thanks guys.

The wheels look great!

However the fitment is very weak. They would sit about the same as the OEM wheels would. Since the wheels will be sunken in it will make the 19"s look really small. If you can get something a little wider with a lower offset it should look good. 20"s would look a lot better in my opinion.

Sizes I would recommend if you don't mind a staggered setup would be a 19x9 up front and 19x10 with a offset in the +25 to +35 range. The same specs I listed could apply to 20"s as well.

If they are only temporary I would hold off and save for a better set of wheels. Better to spend once and not have to buy again. That way you get a design you really like and can get the offset that will work best with your setup.

thanks for the input guys... im only pondering these as temp wheels as i absolutely can not stand to have my car stock anymore, but as im in school i dont have the money to buy a super nice set that is exactly what im looking for... i think it would look better to slam on these compared to my stockies...

leaving it stock is better than putting those wheels on. If you try to make the car look cool by putting on those wheels it will look terrible, and will be a customizing "fail". To leave it stock is better because, although the car may not look exciting, at least its not an attempt at customizing that failed. The wheels are far too positively offset and that design is much better in 20". Plus why spend the money on something that's not done right? Either do it right or don't do it at all. Stock is much better than "temporary". If "temporary" is acceptable then just put donut spare tires on the car.

If you're looking for a good set of cheap wheels I would look into MRR's or XXR's. You can also get a good set of used wheels pretty cheap if you watch the classifieds forum like a hawk.

I've seen those wheels on our cars before...search LS430 MMR HR3 wheels and you'll see examples.

You can always run spacers to push em out a bit. I think you'd look fine

Its not about it looking fine. Its about the fact its only temporary. Honestly why waste the money?

It needs tires so there adds ~$800+. Lugs $40 being budget conscious or $200 if you go all out.

you guys are right, i may as well just save up until i can afford the wheels i got picked out. im just so sick of being stock, but i guess once its all pieced together the way i want it ill know it was more than worth the wait to see it.

there is a local ls430 here for sale with those wheels on , they are better then stock, but id certainly wait to get a proper set.

Those wheels you have on your Soarer would look good on the LS.

I know that feeling as I was in the same boat last year. It's worth the wait in the end to have the wheels you truly want.

Plus if you plan on lowering the car it's best to do it all at once or around the same time.
