Default Lowenhart wheels

what do you guys think about the Lowenharts? between the LR5, BR5 and the BS5 which do you think look best on a 1G GS?

Its really depends on what you like. Personally, the only one I like is the LD1's. Even though the other designs are from Lowenhart, I just don't like the way they look. I use to have the lowenahrt LR5 in 18's but I got tired of the design and got rid of them.

Personally, I think the LR5's are the best looking...then the BR5 and then the BS5...the LD1 were great looking wheels but now everyone makes a knock-off and they're basically played out...damn knock-off companies...

I didn't know that the LR5's came in 18"...when did they do that?

ooohh sorry guys, its the br5. I always get the lr5 and br5 mixed up. I got tired of that design when I had it because it kinda looks like the niche pultec.

The BR5 in 20" looks very good though. A lot of wheels in 18" don't look as good (the BR5 being one of them)...

SCJack - There are a LOT of other wheels out there...check out www.gtautosports.com...even that is just a drop in the bucket...

Default Lowenhart BR5

My friend just bought a chrome set of Lowenhart BR5's (20x10R and 20x8.5F) on his black/black GS430 and lowered it with Eibachs. The car looks awesome! These wheels definitely don't look as good on 18's, but these 20's are tight...especially on a GS.

Also, if you can still get a hold of the BS5's, they look great in chrome staggerred 20's. Here's a pic of a blue GS w/ 20" BS5's from Sprewell Racing's website...

I didn't know that they released the BR5's in 20 in. Before they only had it up to 19's.

Default Br-5 Lexus Ls-400

I have a set of 20 inch BR-5's that I took off my 600 SEL Mercedes, Looked sharp.

I now have a LS 400, 1992 model. will these wheels fix on the Lexus?

Sorry to sound dumb, go try them. I am in Florida with a used car I just bought for 4k, one owner 140k miles. My wheels in in Tennessee. Beofre shipping them here. Will they fix on the LS 400.

Thanks
for any assistance.

If these will not Fix the LS, any buysers out there for a used set.
