Default Ideas for my new LS430

I have done it.. Sold the S55 back to the dealership and have ordered my new 2004 LS430...

Specs are: Black on black with UltraLux package..

I need ideas on what to do... I think all i'm going to do is put 19" wheels on it.. like some Carlsons or REZAX.

No carlson's please.

Id get the Work equips, rezax would work too.

How bout some L-sportlines.

If i had the money id get the Lowenhart Br-5s with the swavorski super crystals.

My mistake I think the LS-5's were the ones with the crystals, and i think they were discontinued.

Actually, I would get either the model one or four L-sportlines.

L-sportline.com.

These are the wheels I want my Carlsson+
I'll problably get the second one in Chrome

I think the would look perfect and classy(not ghetto at all) on the LS430....


Check out this site to see all the wheels to choose from:
gablesmotoring

I didn't know Carlson's fit on Lexi, I thought they were made for Benzo's.

Those are okay.

Nice choices for wheels. Personally, I'd go for the 2/6 because of the wider lip.

They do, but I think you have to drill an extra hole or 2 to get them on there.
Here's proof that Carlsson isn't only for Benzes...

for LS430 you'll want something from Fabulous, Wald, Auto Couture, Junction Produce, etc. VIP stuff. Carlsson are nice and they did make stuff for LS at one time but I don't think they still do, and it's a weird idea in the first place. If you really dig that style, I think WORK Ryver Touring DT4 would be much better (Japanese wheels for Japanese cars.) And WORK quality should exceed Carlsson (which is OZ?)

Never really was a fan of 7 spoke rims. They can't be perfect, and I always seem to be able to find a way that they just look crooked or outta shape. Go with some fat 6 spoke rims, maybe not even chrome, just something clean and polished.

Ooooh yah those AC magnafiques are off the hook.

Those carlson's are plain jane and a real old school design, and plus why get a wheel where u have to drill holes to make em fit??? i dont get it.

Get rims that are supposed to fit and fit right without effort.
