Question Hey guys, please help me pick out some wheels for my LS430.

I would really appreciate it, if you guys out there could help me pick out some wheels for my LS430.
My budget is $3,500.00 to $4,000.00 w/o tires. I'm looking for 20x10's out back and 20x8.5's in front.
I prefer a 3 piece chrome rim with a lip but, I'm open to 1 piece wheels as well. I'm not looking for any type of spinner wheels or any type of "bling-bling wheel." I prefer Japanese wheels that are tasteful.
Any ideas guys? Thanks in advance.

1st suggestion, as I love dish-type rims on LS43:
Work Euroline DH or Wald Duchatelet 13 (the later one is much more expensive tho).
www.work-wheels.co.jp
www.waldusa.com

2nd suggestion, 5 spoke for a sportier look:
Traffic Star / Maya DTS or Work Euroline IS

But this is just my preference. Other may suggest different style. Good luck on your search.

Also, personally I would go with bright polish and not chrome, unless if the exterior of the car is black, then chrome would be a very nice choice.

I found these on the WORK website. I like these a lot but, would they look good on an LS430?
It's pretty ironic that the wheel is the LS series. Here's the link: http://www.work-wheels.co.jp/wheels/index/ls/ls.html

Talking I agree with gewe21!!

The Wald Duchatelet looks so sweet on the LS430's...I'd get them in a brushed finish of course, that's cause it's my preference...can't argue with this...check this LS430 with the Walds...SWEET!!!

You can ask someone who's good with Photoshop to paste the Work LS on Lexus LS, and maybe you'll be able to judge better...

Anyone can help ?

Personally, I would take those 20" DH's off Lonely Toothbrush's hands. And I don't even know him.

On the website for NCforged it looks like the wheel on the left is only available in 23s. I think the Work LS would look real sweet on you LS.

I like these too. The biggest size they come in though, is a 19". Let me know what you guys think.
