Question Which wheel is the best

Hi, new member. Getting my new LS in August (1st Lexus), thinking about to upgrade the wheels to either 19" or 20", which one do you guys suggest and why (based on price and quality)? Thanks in advance. Any pictures would be helpful.

LS is a big car, so i think 20s would look a lot nicer on the car with a good drop.

Thanks. With 20", how much I can lower the car w/o rubbing? Since this will be a lease car, I will drop the car only when the cost is low.

I think $4000 w/ tire is a reasonable budget for 20", how do you think?

gs4will, could you help? Any brands that you can quickly come up from your mind that fall into my budget? I prefer something special. I saw the pictures of Fabulous, Work... even though those are not really my taste, but since not too many people ride with these wheels, I would like to try. I know it takes time shipping, I think I can wait about 2 months till Augus.

LS500..(is this a TOMS version? jk)

is $4000-4500 with tyres? if so, most of the WORK Euroline series would be a good place to start wheels are very personal mods, so, let me know what you like/prefer, spoke, mesh/fin, or dish

www.work-wheels.co.jp

www.rayswheels.co.jp

www.amistad.ne.jp

www.kyh.co.jp

www.weds.co.jp

www.fabulous.co.jp

fabulous profound would be one of the 3 on my choices if i have a LS/celsior..they are "BIG" looking wheels, which is very ideal for LS as well, imho..esp if you want to diff adn unique, def consider the Fabulous

also now is a good time if you are looking to get the car in august as these wheels are made to order and takes ~5-8 weeks..air shipping is the easy part, ~3-4 days from japan, including custom clearance

you can also PM me with any ?s you have if you prefer
