I finally pulled the trigger on a mighty fine 04 LS but it doesn't have the oem 18s. I was planning on buying the replicas but they are out of stock and have been for awhile now so I'm looking for alternatives.
I'm with you, at some point I just feel like you have to pull the trigger and never look back. Congrats, especially with an out-of-town buy. Now we're all going to want to see some pictures :-)
I recommend going with the stock 18" as pictured by LS430FL or if are looking for aftermarket go with some 20" with some stagger but of course you would need to go with a drop. Any other aftermarket 18" just doesn't look right on this vehicle.
I ended up ordering the oem reps through OE wheels. I'm inclined to agree though that the oem 18s look better than any other 18s. I thought about going 20s but I really didn't want this to be a project car that I keep dumping money into.
Did you end up looking at the Flint Mica at JM Lexus?
jM has 2 that look pretty good so does palm beach Lexus. I'm trying to make it to Palm Beach Lexus this week. they have (2) 2004 in white. both low miles.

You will be happy with those. I am running two sets of chrome wheels from OE wheels. 18"s on my 430 and some on my RX350. They still look brand new. Always remember to keep them as clean and dry as possible and you will avoid pitting and peeling.
