Default 2003 Lexus LS 430 wheel recommendation

Hey everyone, new to this website as I am looking into buying a black ls430 soon. I am thinking I will have money for wheels first off then later money for coils or bags. I was wondering if you guys have pictures or recommendations for wheels that would look good not lowered at stock height? Preferably 19-20 in. I was thinking model 95's? Let me know!

If I had extra money lying around, I would get myself some "20 Vossens. I think they are similar to OEM, so they fit the car, but they are also very distinct looking, and a fashion statement.

Awesome thanks for the replies! And my budget is around 1000-1400 for a set of wheels. I'm not really sure what a good budget is for suspension? Sorry I'm pretty new to car stuff.

Well, a good set of coilovers alone will run about $900-$1200.

Yeah that is what I was thinking. I will be able to do that but not until later on, so I'd love to have a set of wheels that look good not lowered so i have time to gather up some money. Would bmw model 95s look funny if it wasn't lowered?

i did see that you posted in that thread, but there was no resolution for it. I would not have an idea of how they would look on a stock height car.

I don't think any 20" wheel will look good at stock height. Save your money until you can get both the wheels and the suspension done at the same time, and enjoy the cushy ride of the stock wheels and tires until then.

Alright. I kind of agree that 20s wouldn't look great at stock height. What about 18s? I really think I will be riding at stock for a while...maybe forever. And would love to keep the smooth cushy ride. Any recommendations for wheels that would look classy as well as ride smooth at stock height? I really appreciate the help.
