Default gs w/ sc430 18's

having just bought my new gs400 w/ stock 16's, i needed a low priced upgrade on the wheels....i know i'm not the first to do it, but i think these sc430's w/ newer styled center caps do the trick just fine....total price on the wheels you ask? $280 including shipping used on ebay....they aren't perfect but they aren't bent.......i wrapped them in fuzion ZRI 245 40r18's....

a set of 01 taillights and some tint make this (now 2nd owner vehicle) look like she always deserved to look.

Yo, not bad bro! I was personally thinking of slapping on some of the RX330 18" chrome rims. Kind of look like the new GS430 rims, but at 1/4 the price.
But those SC430 rims for $280 shipped! Thats a hell of a deal and they look good on the GS!

thats pretty nice! $280 for the newer design rims are a great deal. i bought my sc430 rims on ebay for $100 a while back, but those were the older design plates. congrats!

IMO, do away with the bra. it will dis-color ur paint. how do i know?? i had one before (on another car) and it discolored the paint after a few months. also, im not really a fan of that look. but thats just me

To be honest - I think bra's look terrible I would prefer my car to look good and have to respray the front every 2+ years than drive around with an ugly bra on it. Your cars front is too sexy to cover it up.

Now if you had a hot-*** model sitting there, would you want her to wear a bra or go nekkid Exactly, now take it off
