I really love the look of the wheels on this LS 430. I have been searching the web to find them, with no luck. The photo was taken in Japan, I think, so since the wheels are not on any of the 30 or 40 wheel sites in America, I'm betting they are from Japan. I have determined that they are not HRE or Lorinzer wheels, but they are similar. Have a look and see if you know what kind of wheels they are and if the guy that posted the pic is on, what size are they? They look like 20s to me. The text under the pic says "Needs to be dropped", but I think it looks perfect the way it is. It does look like it's been dropped aleast 2" in the pic already. Thanks for your help!

Look a bit like Auto Couture Supreme to me.

Moving this to the wheels forum where you'll get more replies .

Thanks for the quick response, but I don't think that's them. The Auto Couture wheel has grooves in the middle of each spoke and doesn't have enough bolts between the spokes either. It is very similar though. Any other ideas?

Looks like thats a Toyota....Japan does it way different over there.

Is the car black or a dark purple, cant tell?

I do like the rims too!

LexusLad

Yeah, I noticed the Toyota emblem on the grille too. What do you mean "Japan does it way different over there"? Are the LS 430s different? Are the wheel wells different (smaller)? Does the car come lower from the factory? What do you mean?

I agree with Dave.Although they are showing a black centercap and the AC's show a silver/chrome one.I think its just the pic that you cant see the grooves in the spokes.You can kinda see one on the front wheel though.

guys..let me clarify this for you , the wheels are new LOCKSMICE Duke; unless they just came out with 20s, my book shows the largest in 19s

You beat me to it GS4will,

It is the Lock Smice DUKE wheel. I found it in my VIP Style 8 book. Its on the black Anceltion Celsior.

LexusLad

GREAT........THANKS!

I've never heard of LOCKSMICE Duke wheels. Are they any good? They do look great on the new LS though. I especially like the brushed look and the triangular wholes made by the stokes. Do you have a website for the company or know of a place that carries them? I did a quick search on Google and nothing came up.
You might be right about the size as well. They do look like 19s after careful inspection, which is fine with me. It just make the tires a little more resonable in price. Thanks again for your help.

I think GS4Will might be able to get you a set...send him a PM.
19x8.5 depending on the finish will go for $775-$950
19x10 " " " " " " " $818-$993
Use this currency converter if u need the pricing for other wheels specs: http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi
They seem to be fairly high quality wheels, especially judging by the price (which is not always a factor to quality).
My opinion is obviously biased since I'm such a fan of dish wheels like Lonely Toothbrush mentioned. If you like 'em...go for 'em...if I had a 4th gen and the cash, I would definitely consider getting them.
