I recently bought a new LC500, a decision made only after acquiring invaluable information gleaned from the knowledgeable members who post here; thank you all.
Nightfall Mica was a must-have color for me, though I almost went with Ultra White as I seem to alternate between blue and white cars. I was leaning towards Toasted Caramel interior, but decided on the Black Leather (Touring Package) being thankful that the contrast stitching was sparingly, yet tastefully applied. The car came equipped with the optional forged alloys, but the dealer offered aftermarket wheels as another option. I went with 21" Vorsteiner V-FF 103 finished in Titanium Machine. The Vorsteiner wheels compliment the car perfectly, both in design and finish; incredibly, the deeply concave, wider rear wheels enhance the car's muscular stance even more so.
Thanks to this forum, I was informed about the various issues reported. I made sure the fuel pump recall had been addressed on my car, and I inquired about the noisy brakes issue. The service advisor told me the so-called fix is lower-friction brake pad material, with a trade-off of less stopping power. I'm sticking with the original pads for now; while the brakes were a bit noisy for the first few hundred miles, they're nearly silent now - go figure. And what's with the ambient lighting system (illuminated entry system)? Dimly lit when you first enter the car and start it, but then dimming down to negligible when the car is put in gear.
There are threads discussing this subject. In a nutshell though. The LC has 3 wheel options. a 20" cast wheel, a 20" forged wheel and the 21" forged wheel on the vehicle you drove. Tire sizes are:
I thought I should share this with everyone here. Just finished getting a bunch of stuff done to my LC. Here's a breakdown:
- RS-R Ti2000 Springs
- Full Novel FRP kit (apparently first one in North America)
- De-chrome of all accents
- BC Forged HCS-21s 21" wheels 9.5x21 front and 11.5x21 rear
I attached some pics here, but the majority are on the link below.

I'm having some custom forged wheels made (21 X 9 front, 21 X 10.5 rear) and going with these:
Michelin PS4: 275/35/21 front, 315/30/21 rear
Diameters are almost identical to stock, which is what you want. These are not runflats...thank God.
No pics. I haven't even ordered the wheels yet but I'm probably going with these. They will have a more aggressive offset than stock. Probably +12mm more in the front and +15mm more in the rear. Wheels will be lighter than stock as will the non runflat tires.
