Default 20" Trafficstar STM - Limited Edition

I am back after 7 months on this. My car is taking another direction so I am putting this back to the market.

River-side Trafficstar STM - Limited Edition (Graphite face with Anodized Lip)
20x8.5 High Disk +36 (will fit BBK)
20x10 Standard Disk +47
Tires: Falken Azenis ST115 245/35/20 - about 90% firmed
Falken GRB 285/30/20 - about 40% firmed

Here is the latest details of the wheels. After Solarea indicated there might be a bent on one of the front wheel. I think it is better off that I have the set removed and inspected. please see the following pictures:

I ordered a replacement wheel intend to replace the known damaged wheel. The asking price is for the whole set.


From this picture, you can't really tell the other front wheel is slightly bent.


These two pictures will actually show you the minor bent on the wheel. It has slight reflection under the flush of the camera



Here are couple pics on the damaged one that i had the new wheel to replace.



Here are couple pics for the rear tires tread wear.



I put all four wheels and tires on the balance machine today. the technician did not even notice (until i told him) the bent because there are no vibration and balancing are okay for all four wheels. The slightly bent wheel has no issue as to air leaking or vibration.

Based on the information I gather, the slightly bent wheel can be repaired for about $100. Because of these newly discovered issues I am lowing the price to $2800 for everything you see on picture 1. Prefer So. Cal. buyer and will deliver with reasonable distance. (Low Ballers please stay out)

Let me know if you need photo chop on your car, I will see if i can find pictures that will compromise yours. As to fitment, although i am not familiar but I think no fender rolling is required.

from the numbers i think they should fit fine. heck if you are in socal, maybe just do a test fit, nothing beat that

you get to see how they look on your car, and you know whether they have fitment issues!

These are probably out of my budget, but I've been looking at getting similar styled wheels for my 94 LS. I'm wondering how gunmetal or black finished wheels will look on my silver car. If you have time, could you chop these onto a silver LS400? I can post pics of my car later today. Thanks!

If you are looking for JDM wheels similar design in 20", this will definitely be one of your top choice. I think the offering price is reasonable. not to mention only limited selection of JDM 3 pieces or 2 pieces come in reverse lip.

i believe they are 3 piece (but welded together). someone can confirm it. for sure not 1 piece

they are not forged, they are cast. so they are a bit heavier, but they are strong. i have the EXACT SAME wheel on my gs400, and i have been driving with them for almost a yr. no issues at all, and hit couple of bad potholes already.

What's up Brian~ Did not hear from you regarding those center caps fitment I hope they are fine. Anyways, I spoke to Eric (I think his old LS was a UCF10) and I believe these will fit. I will try to do more research to confirm this. Seems like quite a few LS owners are looking at this.
