Question Where can I get these wheels?

I just got an LS430 and I really like these wheels and bodykit. The wheels are Yokohama Connoisseur's. I've conducted several searches online with no sucess. I'm imagining that they might be available only in Japan. I hope not. Well, if you any of you guys have any info on these wheels, please let me know. I'd greatly appreciate it. Also, do any of you know what the widest tire size is, that can be put on an LS430 without modifications. I asked this question in the LS forum but, no one has responded. I'm interested in knowing if a 285-30-20 will fit. Again, Thank you.

Are you able to get wheels? If so, let me know. I called about the Yoko's but, did not expect them to be almost $4,000.00 being that they're not even a 3 piece wheel. What do you think would look really good on an LS430? I kind of like the Work LS 105's. Let me know what you think.
Btw, here's a link:

William,

In this image (attached) from the Work site, can you tell what size wheels these TM1's are? And can you tell if they have the WMC finish?

buyerts..

those are 18x8.5+9.5s..just checked the same pic from my 2003 Work wheel book..though they looked like WMC..they are actually "Crystal Silver" finish...i guess the way these pics are taken with good dig cam and flash, it is hard to tell
