Default 04-06 LS430 18 inch OEM wheels

I was wondering if anybody knew of a good place to find 04-06 LS430 18” Hyper-silver OEM wheels or if anyone had any such wheels just laying around that they would want to get rid of.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

look in the for sale section here, check ebay and local craigslist. They are pretty hard to come by.

They're all over eBay in Hyper Black. The replicas run $600-700 shipped for a set of four. I know this because I bought some and they're supposed to show up today

Lots of discussion on them in this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...-question.html

One of my wheels showed up early so I test fitted it and mounted a tire to see how it would look. Everything fits great. The clearance between the spokes and the caliper is tight, but shouldn't cause any sort of problems. These are the same wheels jimbosr1 mentioned. The hyper black finish is pretty damn cool. It's not beautifully even and the inside of the rim is finished in black but any criticism is just me being very picky about paint. The most weight one took to balance on one side was 2oz which is good for big heavy replica wheels.

Here's some pics I took. Not great quality but I'll take better ones when I have all the wheels.

Looks good, like the wheels, now just paint the caliper the same color of the car and that would complete the look.

Just too open to not have something else behind them...

Just my 0.02....

Edit: $500ish for all 4 rims ? Dam, if I didn't just spend $600 for new tires (17" wheels) I would be all over it. Love that style rim.

I have a set off my 2005 UL LS430 that I will be posting for sale soon. Excellent shape with no cub rash. My car has 23,000 miles so they were used very little.

Notwealthy, see you are running Pirelli P7 tires. There is a thread going on about how they compare and perform. What are your impressions of the ride quality and especially the road noise if any? Also, do you have any issues with what's called "impact noise"? This is the thud sound a tire makes upon impact of expansion joints on the highway or changes in payment height, any noticeably negative sounds?

Nice wheels BTW, got to love the versatility of hyper silver and how it can look like chrome or even black chrome.

Thanks in advance.
