Lexus needs to get on the ball and offer nicer options from the factory like Mercedes is trying to do, BMW and Audi have both been ahead of the curve on this.
amen, me and my buddy was having this conversation a couple of months ago, which made me think about the bimmer wheels. The Germans dont slack to much on there stock appearance of their cars. all the Japanese seem to do everything else right but finishing touches. I guess thts to keep the aftermarket scene alive though

Looking good. I've had those same wheels sitting in my garage for a while now. I'm getting ready to buy adapters so I can finally mount them. I plan on using 19mm as well. I love the fitment and hopefully I won't have to dial in too much camber, I want to keep it as close to neutral as possible to maximize the life of my tires. With that being said, what are your tire and camber specs?

Love the style 95s. Really wanted them for my winter setup, have a slightly stretched winter tire on there hehe, but Cant beat ls430 wheels with new blizzaks in 17s for 350 bucks!.
Maybe one day, when i got an extra 1.5k for a nice winter setup haha.

Looking good OP! Id try to find some center caps, w2ould really finish off the look IMO. maybe use the BMW ones, but shave the emblem and stick a lexus symbol on there?

Btw im going to use a smaller tire, the tires in this pick were 245's and were only used to see my clearance with my current drop.
Just got my ls today, wanna know which way you dropped your car. plan on same rims
